Hurricane Florence’s potentially devastating winds and rain could be like “a Mike Tyson punch” when the storm slams into the Carolina coast later this week. The hurricane, which was downgraded to a Category 3 early Wednesday afterrnoon, remains strong as it continues its approach to the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region with maximum sustained winds of 125 mph, the National Hurricane Center said in its 2 p.m. advisory. Florence was 435 miles southeast of Wilmington, North Carolina, and moving northwest at 16 mph. It’s expected to go back up to a Category 4 by Thursday morning. Steve Goldstein, FEMA’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration liaison, said Wednesday morning that the agency expected the storm to hit late Thursday or early Friday morning.
