HATTERAS ISLAND, North Carolina: Tropical Storm Isaias was expected to strengthen into a hurricane on Monday as it barreled down on the Carolinas before heading up the US East Coast toward Washington, Philadelphia and New York, the National Hurricane Center said.
The storm poses an immediate threat to a stretch of coastline that includes the South Carolina tourist resort of Myrtle Beach and the North Carolina port city of Wilmington. New York City is bracing for a storm surge in lower Manhattan, mindful of the devastation caused by Superstorm Sandy in 2012.While a few local officials on the coast ordered evacuations, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper also warned of inland flooding, as occurred with 2018's Hurricane Florence, which killed 40 people and caused US$17 billion in damage in the state.
"North Carolinians have had to dig deep in recent months to tap into our strength and resilience during the pandemic ... but we have to dig a little deeper. Let's keep each other safe from the wind and water, as well as from the virus," Cooper said.
