Evacuations Ahead of Hurricane Earl: Join the Live Chat
[cnn-photo-caption image=http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/01/02/liveblogfinal.copy.jpg]
We've got breaking news on Hurricane Earl, which is tracking toward North Carolina today as a massive category four storm. Several communities are facing mandatory evacuations. Earl is threatening Labor Day weekend plans from the Carolinas to Maine. There's also breaking news out of Maryland where authorities continue to search the headquarters of the Discovery Channel, looking for possible explosives. That's after a gunman took hostage. Police shot and killed the man. We'll have the latest developments.

How is Antigua? Is another hurricane expected? Did Earl leave much damage? Thanks...
I have watched all the local news in my area about the hurricane. I am in fact glued to television. We are only getting hurricane watches. I am not sure this area in Va. can be evacuated in a short time. In the meanwhile my nerves are on edge. Come on weather channel, give us some information.
That is a really cute video
Too funny Conan O'Brien! Wanting to change his show to "Anderson Cooper 360" ..Sorry Conan, the names been taken! 😀
I have much respect for Michael Douglas. A great actor. I wish him well. Please never dye yor hair red Mr. Cooper!
That was great to see that person ringing the Bell of the Stock Exchange!
(with such enthusiasm). I'd love to do that!
The new 360 bulletin lady seems like fun!
Sad to hear Micheal Douglas go through cancer treatment. My sister has cancer and it isn't an easy process.
So shocked to hear how advanced Michael Douglas' cancer is. The audience including me gasped when he announced that on David Letterman. My prayers go out to him.
Great blog tonight. I'm sure there will further discussions on bullying in the future.
Hope everyone has a great evening!
Anderson looks great as a red head.
I like Michael Doulglas' attitude towards his cancer, having that attitude will help out alot with his treatment! Bless him
Re Bulletin: Guess you really like Isha. I do, too. Hope you guys have great time on AC360 🙂
Wow. Those storms are just lined up there like parts of a freight train. Stay safe everyone. Watch your local news and weather and do what they tell you to do. Better safe than sorry. If you take precautions and it doesn't come, great. But if you don't and it does come your way, not good at all.
here's hoping earl doesn't cause too much damage this weekend.
@Jo Ann,
I joined all of you just as the miners were singing on TV! I couldn't believe how well positive they sounded!
Thanks all! Great show as always. You are all the best! XO
It might be over by the week-end but how about electricity and damage and as Greg Myers said, rip currents. It's a wash!
Amazing satilite pictures of this hurricane.
