year. hurricane florence also a category 2 storm came on shore in wilmington and just stalled. it just stayed over wilmington. it rained for 24 hours. that s what locked down the city. this one much quicker. moved offshore much faster. i think that s why we re seeing a lot less damage, a lot fewer people without power. and hopefully authorities will be able to move around a lot easier after this storm. and juxtapose that, some of the numbers that cal was throwing out there. so florence last year sitting over wilmington for 24 hours. that is a really long time. think about dorian sitting over the bahamas for 50-plus hours just hammering it with 165 mile-an-hour winds. as a category 5. not even as a category 1. just catastrophic. all right. cal perry live there. thanks, cal. the national guard in place and ready to act as you can imagine. the role it will play in the recovery after the storm next.
that s something we re going to watch. the latest, as of the 2:00 p.m. advisory, not much has changed except for the location. 60 miles south of myrtle beach, south carolina, winds are still at 110. that makes it a category 2 storm. and it s moving at 8 miles per hour. not super fast but not super slow. we do expect it to pick up as it passes north carolina. so let s go ahead and take a look at the track here, category 2 storm later on tonight we do expect it to be a category 2 storm as well. and this is where things get very dicey. it gets closer to the coast here. we could see a landfall somewhere along the north carolina coast by friday 8:00 a.m. r, still 100 mile-per-hour winds and again could see it clip the outer banks as a category 2 storm. now, when you see those numbers, those are sustained winds. they re going to gust higher than that. keep that in mind, causing more power lines to come down, causing more damage and pushing that water inland as well. then as we go throughout
congresswoman waxen, thank you so much for spending time with us. come back if there s any movement when everybody gets back. we will be back next week, let s hope there will be, nicolle. let s live in jean-pierre from moveon.org. there really isn t a lot of division among democrats on this question. agree with her assessment public opinion is turning but you have mitch mcconnell and category, i don t remember two figures who march more in lockstep with the nra than mitch mcconnell and donald trump. and that s exactly right. mine, unfortunately, mitch mcconnell and donald trump are not going to do anything and like you said, the truth is, the only way this changes ask at the ballot box in 2020. we have to make sure donald trump is no longer in office and have to make sure mitch
