SALVO, North Carolina (Reuters) - Tropical Storm Hanna was set to crash ashore in the Carolinas after killing at least 136 people in Haiti.
Hanna was expected to be short of minimal Category 1 hurricane strength when it reaches the U.S. East Coast somewhere near the North Carolina and South Carolina border early on Saturday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
Nevertheless, authorities declared states of emergency, coastal campgrounds were shut and storm alerts were issued from Georgia to New Jersey, including for Washington, D.C., as the eighth tropical storm of the Atlantic hurricane season pulled away from the 700 far-flung islands of the Bahamas.
Target Chip Ganassi Racing announced that Dan Wheldon, driver of the No. 10 Target Honda Dallara in the IndyCar Series have agreed to part ways opening the seat for Dario Franchitti.
