Hurricane Florence, update photos

Hurricane Florence background :

Hurricane Florence is currently a large tropical cyclone nearing the Southeastern United States and the U.S. Mid-Atlantic states. The sixth named storm, third hurricane and the first major hurricane of the 2018 Atlantic hurricane season, Florence originated from a strong tropical wave that emerged off the west coast of Africa on August 30. Steady organization resulted in the formation of a tropical depression on the next day near Cape Verde. Progressing along a steady west-northwest trajectory, the system acquired tropical storm strength on September 1, and fluctuated in strength for several days over open ocean. An unexpected bout of rapid intensification ensued on September 4–5, culminating with Florence becoming a Category 4 major hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson scale—estimated maximum sustained winds were 130 mph (215 km/h). Thereafter, hostile environmental conditions tore the storm apart, and Florence degraded to a tropical storm by September 7. Shifting steering currents led to a westward turn into a more suitable environment; the system regained hurricane strength on September 9 and major hurricane status by the following day. At 16:00 UTC on September 10, Florence again became a Category 4 hurricane, later reaching a new peak intensity with winds of 140 mph (220 km/h) and a central pressure of 939 mbar (27.7 inHg). Afterwards, Florence weakened slightly as it underwent an eyewall replacement cycle, but began to restrengthen late on September 11. However, early on September 13, the storm weakened to a Category 2 hurricane, due to exposure to moderate wind shear, but the storm's wind field expanded during this time.

Scary photos taken of hurricane Florence about 4 hours ago by the international space station, which will hit the U.S, China and the Filipines and they have to evacuate 1,5 million person within 48 hours... It's currently over the sea traveling with heavy rains and thunder

Let's all pray for the sake of the people endangered and hope all will be okay..
