      MIAMI (AP) - Forecasters say Hurricane Earl is weakening as it passes over North Carolina's Outer Banks but is still packing powerful winds as it heads up the Eastern Seaboard.
      The National Hurricane Center says Earl's winds are now at about 105 mph. A new tropical storm warning has been issued for New England from the coasts of Massachusetts to Maine.
      Gusts above 40 mph made signs shake and the heavy rain fall sideways in Buxton, the southeasternmost tip of the Outer Banks.
      North Carolina is the first and potentially most destructive stop on the storm's projected journey up the Eastern Seaboard.
      Earl's eye is some 100 miles south-southeast of Cape Hatteras but isn't expected to make landfall until perhaps western Nova Scotia, Canada, in the next few days.
