[0:03] Tonight, Charlie slams the Florida coast

[0:06] as a powerful category 4 hurricane. A

[0:09] wall of water is in the process of

[0:11] swallowing miles of coastline. Heavy

[0:14] rain, floods, and tornadoes threaten

[0:17] millions of people, and it's just

[0:19] beginning. We'll have extensive coverage

[0:21] of where it is and where it's going.

[0:23] Also tonight, the battle for Iraq's

[0:25] holiest city spreads anti-American anger

[0:28] across the Muslim world. What was behind

[0:31] the resignation of New Jerseyy's

[0:33] governor? It wasn't just a sex scandal.

[0:37] And she brought her kitchen into our

[0:39] living room. A toast tonight to the late

[0:42] Julia Child.

[0:49] This is the CBS Evening News with Dan

[0:53] Rather reporting from CBS News

[0:55] headquarters in New York.

[0:57] >> Good evening. The most powerful

[0:59] hurricane to hit the United States in

[1:00] more than a decade is tearing across

[1:03] Florida tonight. Hurricane Charlie is

[1:05] expected to have far-reaching effects

[1:07] all along the eastern seabboard and

[1:10] significantly affect some transportation

[1:12] and the economy nationwide. This

[1:15] hurricane made landfall on the Florida

[1:17] Gulf Coast this afternoon with winds up

[1:19] to 145 mph. The big threat now a storm

[1:24] surge, what used to be called a tidal

[1:25] wave of up to 15 ft. The category 4 on a

[1:29] five-scale hurricane turned inland north

[1:31] of Santael Island and roared onto the

[1:34] mainland at the town of Port Charlotte.

[1:36] The projected path would take it across

[1:38] Florida, north of Orlando by tonight,

[1:40] then offshore where it could pick up

[1:42] strength again and then back inland over

[1:45] the Carolinas and on up into New

[1:47] England. CBS's coverag
