Florence restrengthens into hurricane as it targets the East Coast

Florence has regained hurricane strength and is set to "rapidly strengthen to a major hurricane by Monday" before targeting the East Coast later this week, according to the National Hurricane Center.

The big picture: As Axios science editor Andrew Freedman reported yesterday, "Depending on the storm's intensity and exact path, both of which are considerably uncertain, the storm could pose a devastating threat to areas that have not seen a major hurricane make landfall in decades."
