Hurricane Florence, already a monster, is due to strengthen as 1 million people are told to flee the US East Coast

Wilmington, North Carolina (CNN)Hurricane Florence has potential to cause “massive damage” to parts of the southeastern and mid-Atlantic United States — and not just in the coastal areas where the storm aims to make landfall Thursday night, officials warned.

Hurricane Florence: LIVE CNN UPDATES

More than 1 million people face mandatory evacuation orders Tuesday in coastal areas of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, as one of the strongest hurricanes to churn toward the eastern seaboard in decades — a Category 4 storm that may approach Category 5 strength — nears shore.

Tropical-storm-force winds are due to reach the coasts of North and South Carolina late Wednesday night, and hurricane-force winds may be felt around noon Thursday, ahead of a landfall likely Thursday night, CNN meteorologist Chad Meyers said.

TRACK THE STORM

Powerful storm surges and winds will pose deadly threats, as will long periods of heavy rain. Beyond the Carolinas and Virginia, the threat of inland flooding extends into next week to parts of Tennessee, Georgia, West Virginia, Ohio, Maryland and Pennsylvania, forecasters said.

“This will be a storm that creates and causes massive damage to our country,” Jeff Byard, Federal Emergency Management Agency associate administrator, said Tuesday morning.

“It is going to be … a long-term recovery,” Byard said. “This is not going to be a storm that we recover from in days.”

This forecast cone, created around 11 a.m. ET Tuesday, shows the probable range of Florence's center for the next five days.
