[0:00] Early edition with Carol Lynn and Leon

[0:02] Harris. Weekdays on CNN.

[0:07] Tonight, Hurricane Floyd churns along a

[0:10] collision course with the Carolinas. For

[0:13] Florida, just a sideswipe, but even that

[0:16] stormy touch was destructive. Joining

[0:19] us, CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather

[0:21] from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. In

[0:24] Columbia, South Carolina, the president

[0:26] of the American Red Cross, Dr.

[0:28] Bernardine Healey covering the storm

[0:30] scene in Charleston, South Carolina,

[0:32] Charles Zewi. He's one of many CNN

[0:35] correspondents we'll hear from. We'll

[0:37] also talk with our own weather expert,

[0:39] Flip Spiceland. They're all next on

[0:42] Larry King Live

[0:54] in Atlanta who's been covering this

[0:56] thing around the clock. On a scale of

[0:58] 10, how bad is this one? How would you

[0:59] rate it?

[1:01] >> Worse earlier than it is right now,

[1:02] Larry. It was uh it had you know, last

[1:05] night, Larry, I stood right at this spot

[1:06] at this very time and you said, "Will it

[1:08] weaken before it hits the coast?" And

[1:09] you know what? It did. Uh wasn't

[1:12] expected to. We thought it might even

[1:13] strengthen a little bit as it came over

[1:15] the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, but

[1:17] it didn't. It is still, however, a very,

[1:20] very dangerous storm. As a matter of

[1:22] fact, uh, wind speeds at the last report

[1:25] we had was at 115, but just a moment

[1:28] ago, we received the new data from the

[1:30] National Hurricane Center and, uh, now

[1:33] they're talking about it's 135 mi

[1:35] southswest of Wilmington and it is still

[1:39] moving to the northnortheast at 17 mph.

[1:41] So, it's moving very, very quickly. Wind

[1:43] speeds are still at 115 mph.
