"A triple weather threat loomed Wednesday with storms set to hit parts of the Gulf Coast, Southeast and Hawaii."

"In Florida, where a hurricane watch was issued for parts of the state because of another tropical depression in the Gulf of Mexico, Gov. Rick Scott declared a state of emergency."

"Karins warned of rough surf and dangerous rip currents off of North Carolina as so-called Tropical Depression 8, which had glanced the coastline late Tuesday, headed back out into the Atlantic."

"In the Pacific, Category 1 Hurricane Madeline churned toward Hawaii, promising to bring heavy rain and high winds. Category 4 Hurricane Lester followed roughly Madeline's path and toward the archipelago."
