'''Hurricane Florence''', tropical [[cyclone]] which originated in western [[Africa]] on August 28, 2018, moving on a westerly course across the Atlantic Ocean and becoming a hurricane on September 4 over 1,200 miles to the west of the Cape Verde islands.  The storm's rapid increase in intensity to Category 4 caught meteorologists off guard, with predictions that its landfall in North Carolina will be catastrophic.
