Hurricane Florence Storm starts

Angel


Officials warn of life-threatening storm surges in both North and South Carolina as the hurricane moves towards land with maximum sustained wind speeds of 90mph (150 km/h).

 State officials are bracing for the worst. A tattered American flag seen flying on a live surf camera at Frying Pan Tower in North Carolina is evidence of the strong wind gusts pounding the coast.
More than 100,000 homes are already without power as weather conditions begin to worsen.
Officials have warned the storm has the potential to kill "a lot of people" amid risks of "catastrophic" flooding.

More than 4 million people along the coastlines of North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia have been ordered to evacuate.

Even though Florence's winds weakened as it drew closer to land, dropping from a peak of 140 mph earlier in the week, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper maintained his warning.

"Don't relax, don't get complacent. Stay on guard. This is a powerful storm that can kill. Today the threat becomes a reality," Cooper said.

Some areas of North Carolina saw almost a foot of rain just a few hours, and footage showed sea levels begin to surge in land.

The NHC says that despite the gradual lowering in wind strength, the storm remains extremely dangerous because of the high volume of rainfall and storm surges predicted.

Ministers Back Robin Swann's Proposal To Remove Covid restrictions

Angel

Northern Ireland, Health Minister Robin Swann has received support from other executive ministers to ease Covid-19 limits. Mr Swann wrote to his ministerial colleagues, seeking their input on how to remove the remaining constraints. Although the executive branch of the government dissolved in February, individual ministers remain in place. They have the authority to make decisions as long as the concerns are not judged "significant or contentious." Government lawyers warned Mr Swann that lowering Covid rules would fall under this category, according to his letter to fellow ministers. According to the attorneys, he won't be able to repeal the guidelines on his own because of Stormont's ministerial code. Because of the joint character of the office, the full executive cannot convene because Paul Givan resigned as first minister, requiring Deputy First Minister Michelle O'Neill to resign as well. Mr Givan's Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) has been protesting the ...
