Atlanta, Dhu-AlHijjah 29, 1439, Sep 9, 2018, SPA -- Forecasters say Tropical Storm Florence has turned into a hurricane and is swirling toward the East Coast for what could be a direct hit toward the end of the week. According to AP, the storm's sustained winds reached 75 mph (121 kph), just over the threshold for a hurricane, on Sunday morning as it was swirling across the Atlantic, about 750 miles (1,210 kilometers) southeast of Bermuda. It was moving west at 6 mph. The National Hurricane Center says it is still too early to predict the hurricane's exact path, but a huge coastal area from northern Florida to North Carolina should prepare for a major hit. --SPA 19:23 LOCAL TIME 16:23 GMT 0030 www.spa.gov.sa/w746344
