Millions of people are preparing for Hurricane Florence, a hurricane heading toward the east coast. Expected to hit the Carolinas on Thursday, Florence has been called “extremely dangerous” by the National Hurricane Center and has already caused 1.5 million people to evacuate in North and South Carolina.
