DC Declares State of Emergency Ahead of Hurricane Florence
"D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has joined Maryland and Virginia in declaring a state of emergency as the East Coast awaits the arrival of Hurricane Florence.
The "staggering" size of the Category 4 storm means its impacts could be felt far and wide, National Hurricane Center Director Ken Graham said."

Mid-Atlantic Prepares for Hurricane Florence: Virginia Orders Evacuations; State of Emergency in Maryland | The Weather Channel
Virginia
On Monday, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam ordered evacuations for about 245,000 residents living in low-lying areas of Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore.
The evacuation of Zone A takes effect at 8 a.m. Tuesday.
“Hurricane Florence has the potential to cause catastrophic flooding, especially in our coastal areas,” Northam said. “This evacuation is for the safety of thousands of Virginians living in that zone. But the effects of this storm will be felt statewide, and I encourage everyone in Virginia to prepare now.”
Virginians in coastal areas can see which zone they live in by going to knowyourzoneva.org.
Northam had declared a state of emergency Saturday, allowing the Commonwealth to "mobilize resources, including the Virginia National Guard, and pre-position people and equipment to assist in storm response and recovery efforts," according to a press release.
“While the impacts of Tropical Storm Florence to Virginia are still uncertain, forecasts increasingly expect the storm to strengthen into a major hurricane that could seriously affect the East Coast and Virginians,” said Northam. “Accordingly, I am declaring a state of emergency so that we can begin to prepare state assets, and I encourage Virginians to monitor forecasts and make their own preparations now.”
Capt. Kevin Carroll, commander of Coast Guard Sector Hampton Roads, told the Virginian-Pilot people ordered to evacuate but who decide to ride out the storm may be on their own as the storm approaches, saying there will likely be a "diminished" ability to respond to emergencies.
"If you are in the Tidewater region of Hampton Roads and you are not taking this storm seriously, you are making a mistake and that mistake could be a fatal one," Carroll said.

Maryland
Maryland's Gov. Larry Hogan declared a state of emergency Monday for his state.
“At this time there’s still some uncertainty about the track of the storm and its potential impact,” Hogan announced during a press conference. “But we are preparing for the potential of historic, catastrophic and life-threatening flooding.”
Hogan noted that the declaration is a planning measure to ensure the state is prepared for possible flooding, particularly in low-lying areas and areas already heavily saturated from rainfall resulting from the remnant of Gordon.
Russell Strickland, executive director of the Maryland Emergency Management Agency, told the Baltimore Sun that emergency staff are preparing emergency operations centers around the state, including swift water rescue boats and flat-bottomed boats, in a anticipation of possible flooding.
“We could have the potential of having historical kind of flooding,” Strickland said. “We’re pretty confident we’re going to have a lot of rain.”

NEW YORK, NY – Hurricane Florence looks set to miss New York City, focusing its "life-threatening" fury instead on the Carolinas and forcing the evacuation of a million people from the East Coast. But the city will not totally escape its impact, forecasts show.
Florence, currently a category 4 hurricane, is expected to reach the Mid-Atlantic by Thursday night. It could be approaching a category 5 storm when it does, the National Weather Service warned.
The National Hurricane Center's Tuesday morning update showed the incredible devastation that could be in store for the Carolinas and beyond. It also showed how far north the storm's impact could reach after a slight northbound shift.
New York City is on the outskirts of the storm's reach, but will still be hit by up to two inches of rain, the forecast shows\
