Tonight, a hurricane watch goes off for North Carolina after Earl demonstrates his awesome power in the Caribbean. I’m Harry Smith. Also tonight, the end of US combat operations in Iraq. The President congratulates US forces on a job well done. “The country appreciates you. I appreciate you.” Good news for home owners. Prices are on the rise. But don’t get used to it. And families reunited. A joyous homecoming for soldiers back from war. From CBS News world headquarters in New York, this is the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. Good evening. Katie is off tonight. Hurricane Earl is on the move, a powerful category 4 storm possibly headed for the east coast.
On the broadcast tonight, tracking Earl. It’s a big category four hurricane churning off the east coast and officials don’t yet know who to warn as a big holiday weekend approaches. End of combat. The President’s speech and his warning about what may lie ahead for America in Iraq. The plague of bed bugs. They’re now spreading all over this country. The question is why this infestation now. And making a difference. For kids this summer turns out to be an opportunity right up their alley. Nightly News begins now. From NBC News world headquarters in New York, this is NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams.
Good evening. We have a very big hurricane making its way toward the east coast to the United States. The big question is where. And that’s a big problem for a lot of emergency preparedness folks tonight. This storm has a potential 30 million Americans in its path. We could see watches and warnings posted in upwards of a dozen states or more. We just don’t know yet. And a ton of folks have Labor Day weekend travel and beach plans which will make for a nasty combination with hurricane Earl.
Veteran hurricane specialist Bryan Norcross with us from the weather channel to start us off tonight. Bryan? I know you have a best case scenario and sadly a worst case scenario for the storm. That’s right, Brian. And good evening. There is Earl a 135 mile an hour hurricane about 1000 miles from North Carolina. And over this water here, north of the Bahamas, it’s very warm. So this hurricane is going to maintain its strength as it moves in the direction of the east coast.
