President Donald Trump shakes hands with FEMA Administrator Brock Long after visiting areas in North Carolina and South Carolina impacted by Hurricane Florence, Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2018, at Myrtle Beach International Airport in Myrtle Beach, S.C. SALT LAKE CITY - Everyone in America with a cellphone will receive the same text message on the same day next month.
Hurricane Florence has been downgraded to a Category 2 storm but it is still being considered an extremely dangerous and life-threatening storm, US officials said.

CHARLESTON, SC A local environmental group filed a lawsuit Tuesday that is asking federal agencies to examine a "more fiscally responsible alternative" to Interstate 73. According to a press release, the Coastal Conservation League is asking that officials look into the Grand Strand Expressway, which is a proposal to connect Myrtle Beach to Interstate 95 with upgrades to the S.C. 38 and U.S. 501 corridor. CCL leaders said the proposed expressway would save $2 billion, "compared to the I-73 boondoggle pushed by Horry County officials and special interests," the release stated.
U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that Myrtle Beach will get $1.25 million for 10 new police officers. In a year that has seen public safety as the foremost topic in the city, this comes as a welcome boost to the city's administration and police department.
Dozens of Horry County and city officials are back or on their way back to the county from FEMA's Emergency Management Institute in Maryland. While there, they received an intense crash course on how to deal with several emergency scenarios, and improve response and preparedness in Horry County.
