From 5 pm ET Thursday, the storm had sustained maximum winds of 80 mph but was expected to re-intensify on Friday, said the National Hurricane Center.

The National Hurricane Center has not yet issued any coastal surveillance or warnings from 5 pm. AND advice. But Florence is expected to generate potentially dangerous surf waves and tear the current conditions that will affect Bermuda by Friday.

In the United States, Tropical Storm Gordon was never a hurricane, but she was still deadly, killing a child in Florida by blowing up a tree on a mobile home while it was reaching the coast. The storm weakened later in a depression on Wednesday, but remained unsafe, spilling rain, sparking tornadoes and causing heavy waves of surf.

The hurricane center said Gordon was weakening on a path in Arkansas after hitting the coast at 70 mph just before the hurricane force near Pascagoula, Mississippi. The remains are likely to cause instant flooding in parts of seven states and north to Iowa in the coming days.
