Hurricane Florence has been downgraded to a Category 2 storm, according to the latest NHC advisory, but it is still considered an extremely dangerous and life-threatening storm.

The political left needs to do a better job of policing its members who are “inciting” violence, according to House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, who narrowly survived a politically-motivated mass assassination attempt in July 2017.

North Carolina’s governor Roy Cooper issued what he called a first-of-its-kind mandatory evacuation order for all of North Carolina’s fragile barrier islands. Typically, local governments in the state make the call on evacuations. “We’ve seen nor’easters and we’ve seen hurricanes before,” Cooper said, “but this one is different.”

All of which would be odd enough, but as SHTFplan.com's Mac Slavo details below, the observatory is closed just as a massive hole has opened up in the Sun’s corona, which means we’re officially on watch for a geomagnetic storm.  Auroras will be likely across much of North America as the sun heads into a solar minimum.

President Donald Trump held a live hurricane briefing at the White House on Tuesday, urging Americans in the projected path of Hurricane Florence to prepare for the storm. “Everybody should get out,” the president said to residents living in evacuation zones. “You have to listen to your local authorities.”

Florence’s sustained winds to 155 mph by Wednesday, just shy of Category 5 strength. With the conditions so supportive, it’s entirely possible that Florence might cross this threshold and become a Category 5 for at least a few hours on Wednesday.

Controversial author Roosh Valizadeh revealed the ban last night, tweeting, “Amazon has removed 9 of my books from sale, including my newest book Game, which was ranking in the top 1000. They won’t tell me the specific reason. Many of the books were on sale for 5+ years.”

Florence exploded into a potentially catastrophic Category 4 hurricane Monday as it closed in on North and South Carolina, carrying winds up to 130 mph and water that could wreak havoc over a wide stretch of the eastern United States later this week.

“I think there are people in there that he can trust, it's just -- it's a much smaller group than I would like it to be,” Trump Jr. said in an interview aired Tuesday on ABC’s "Good Morning America." “It would be easier to get things done if you’re able to fully trust everyone around you,” he said. “I think that’s a shame.”
