Wouldn't the huricane be considerably weaker by the time it reaches mid-atlantic states? I haven't lived in this area for too long , but have any major huricanes ever hit DC or NY?</font>
The storm weakened slightly Monday but was still a powerful Category 4 as it swept across the Atlantic Ocean, the National Hurricane Center (news - web sites) said. Forecast models showed the storm hitting the East Coast
anywhere from North Carolina to New Jersey with wind up to 130 mph late Thursday or early Friday.
