WILMINGTON, N.C. (UP) -- Beach dwellers scurried for safety today before an advancing Atlantic hurricane that churned up the sea about 100 miles south-southeast of this busy port and recreation city with winds of more than 100 miles per hour.
An advisory issued at noon EDT by the Miami weather bureau warned that last season's third tropical disturbance was "dangerous" and said its center likely would pass over or slightly east of Cape Hatteras, N.C., late tonight or early Tuesday.
