Hermine could regain hurricane strength, threatens US Northeast

  • 8 years ago
Storm Hermine churned off the U.S. Middle Atlantic Coast on Sunday, threatening to regain hurricane strength after carving a path of destruction through the South while so far sparing the Northeast from the worst of its wind, rain and sea surge.
Officials warned the storm could produce deadly surges and ordered swimmers, surfers and boaters to stay out of treacherous waters during the Labor Day holiday weekend, when many Americans celebrate the end of summer.
The storm, which claimed at least two lives, in Florida and North Carolina, is expected to stall off the coast for several days.
