Forecasters say Tropical Storm Florence has turned into a hurricane again and is swirling toward the U.S. East Coast for what could be a direct hit toward the end of the week. The National Hurricane Center says it is still too early to predict the storm's exact path, but a huge coastal area from northern Florida to North Carolina should prepare for a possible a "major hurricane." The vessel departed from Boston on Friday, but instead of heading south it arrived in Halifax on Sunday morning. The storm had been downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm last week before it began to strengthen again over the Atlantic late Friday. Advisories warning of dangerous beach conditions or coastal flooding were in effect for parts of New Jersey, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.
