((Florida may have been spared much of Floyd's fury, but the hurricane is
still being felt up and down the coast.
A pier in Daytona Beach proved to be no match for Floyd. Its wooden beams quickly swallowed by the storm's 35-foot waves. Strong winds also
toppled trees, ripped apart roofs, and knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of customers. Residents did what they could to secure homes
and boats before evacuating:
Resident: We got all the lines on board, everything is doubled up. We just keep
our fingers crossed like everyone else.. right.
Floridians may be breathing a sigh of relief, but residents in the Carolinas are taking a deep breath. That's because Floyd's winds are
already whipping across the South Carolina coast, with the eye forecast
to hit land overnight. Thousands of residents of South Carolina have
already evacuated.
People living in North Carolina's Outer Banks have been ordered to leave as well. Those who lived through Hurricane Hugo ten years are taking no
chances with Floyd.
They're taking swells out there in South Carolina right now. On top of that will probably be another 6 to 8 feet of waves. So if you're on the beach, get out."))

This morning, a jury found 28-year old John Claude Love guilty of felony hit and run and sentenced him to 18-months in prison.
Prosecutor Phil Keith was hoping for the maximum of five years.

If you call 911, the emergency dispatcher automatically knows where you are calling from-
but if you use a cellular phone that's not the case.
Today the Government took steps to change that.
The Federal Communications Commission wants cellular companies to provide phones with locator technology within two years.
The FCC approved new ground rules to make that happen.
The technology could mean phone handsets that could be located by a global position satellite system.
The FCC chairman says the decision will save lives.
