Florence's sluggish pace promises to prolong storm misery

The eye of Hurricane Florence made landfall Friday morning and was downgraded to a tropical storm by the late afternoon.

Most houses and buildings withstood the winds, but a woman and baby were killed when a tree was blown down on their home. P.J. Tobia reports.
