Humberto’s rhythm with Imelda could save Carolinas

(The Center Square) – Residents of the Carolinas, seldom fans of hurricanes, much less those reaching Category 5, are hopeful for a rhythm between Humberto and Imelda.

Category 4 Hurricane Humberto, about 365 miles north-northeast of the Northern Leeward Islands at 11 a.m. Saturday is expected to strengthen its 145 mph maximum sustained winds through the weekend. Its pull could be enough to interact with Tropical Cyclone Nine – the possible soon-to-be Hurricane Imelda – in the Atlantic Ocean and thwart major damage in North and South Carolina.
