Tropical Storm Hermine moved towards US mid-Atlantic and northeastern states after slamming US state of Florida.
It caused two deaths, severe property damages from Florida to Virginia.
Hermine, which had turned into a hurricane-like storm with winds up to 70 mph, would soon hit New Jersey coast.
So far, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie had already declared a state of emergency in three coastal counties, and Governor Jack Markell of Delaware had also issued a state of emergency in one county.
