MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Tropical Storm Hanna was expected to move across the Bahamas on Wednesday and Thursday and to hit the U.S. on Friday, somewhere between South Florida and the Carolinas, forecasters said.

Hanna's winds were at 60 mph, but it was expected to strengthen and could regain hurricane status by Thursday, the National Hurricane Center said.

At 8 a.m. ET Wednesday, Hanna was about 105 miles southeast of Great Inagua Island in the Bahamas, the hurricane center said.

It was moving eastward at about 5 mph and was expected to speed up and make a turn to the northwest later Wednesday, the center said. It described Hanna's path as "erratic."

Florida Gov. Charlie Crist declared a state of emergency Tuesday to get ready for Hanna, The Associated Press reported. Florida could get flash floods and wind gusts of up to 111 mph, he told the AP. Video Watch what Florida is doing to prepare »

Following Hanna is Tropical Storm Ike, which formed Monday, and is forecast to cross into the Caribbean as a hurricane on Saturday or Sunday. Ike is heading toward the Caribbean at 18 mph with top wind speeds of 65 mph, the hurricane center said at 5 a.m. ET.

It could strike the Turks and Caicos Islands just south of the Bahamas by Sunday. iReport.com: Watch Hanna lash the Turks and Caicos Islands

Behind Ike is Tropical Storm Josephine, with top winds near 60 mph, the hurricane center said at 5 a.m. ET. Josephine is about 220 miles west-southwest of the southernmost Cape Verde Islands off western Africa.

Hanna caused severe flooding in Haiti's port city of Gonaives, and rescue efforts have been hampered because of flooded bridges and roads, some of which Hurricane Gustav washed out last week, a local official said.

Two university students were swept away by flowing water in Puerto Rico, and at least one of them was killed, according to the AP
