The Latest: US Marines' base could be near storm's bulls-eye
ATLANTA (AP) — The Latest on Hurricanes Florence and Isaac (all times local):8 a.m.
Hurricane Florence appears to be taking aim at the largest U.S. Marine Corps base on the East Coast.
Camp Lejeune has an extensive beachfront about 50 miles (80 kilometers) northeast of Wilmington, North Carolina, and it's well within the National Hurricane Center's forecast "cone."
The hurricane's path was still far from certain Monday. The rapidly intensifying storm could strike a direct and dangerous blow anywhere from the Carolinas to the Mid-Atlantic region later this week, possibly as a fearsome category 4.
