Floyd, a monster hurricane, crawled up the Eastern Seaboard and poised for a direct hit on the Carolinas early today, lashing the land and its people like a whip and forcing what officials called the largest evacuation in American history.

It had weakened but was still a Category 3 hurricane, with winds of up to 115 mph. Most ominously, it was 520 miles wide. There were no reports of hurricane-relate- d deaths.

"Floyd did not help the situation," said Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer John Ware. Authorities urged more than 2.6 million people to flee the East Coast. They choked highways and filled inland hotels to capacity. It was, Vice President Al Gore said, "the largest peacetime evacuation in the history of the U.S." The closest rivals were retreats caused by other massive storms, such as Andrew in 1992 and Hugo in 1989. President Clinton declared federal disaster areas in North and South Carolina. Beyond the Carolinas,
