Some 10 million people remain under a storm watch, as Hurricane Florence nears the Carolinas in the US.
Hurricane Florence has been downgraded to a category two storm as it approaches the US but officials still warn of a "disaster at the doorstep".
Florence's winds may have dropped to175km/h but its slow‑moving nature could mean it lingers for days, bringing catastrophic flooding.
Florence may now be heading further south, and Georgia is the latest state to declare an emergency.
It joins North and South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Washington DC.
