NAGS HEAD, N.C.
(AP) - Tropical Storm Ophelia is on its way toward New
England. The storm is weakening and moving away from the North
Carolina coast.
Track Ophelia There are tropical
storm warnings posted for Massachusetts and Rhode
Island.
Behind the storm, there is some damage and
there were some power outages, but Carolina's three-day
drenching wasn't as bad as some had feared. The evacuation
order for Hatteras Island has been
lifted.
The storm
is blamed for one traffic death, and a surfer is
missing.
The National Hurricane Center says Ophelia's
top sustained winds are 60 miles an hour. National Weather
Service meteorologist Mike Jackson says these things are
extremely difficult to forecast,
adding, "Ophelia has been
a pain in the neck from the
beginning."
