You haven't met my father. Just under 6' and 300 lbs.

That said, he's in NS and looks like they are going to get ripped.

Earl is expected to gain even more strength according to the NHC. He's going to get awful close to a Cat 5 hurricane (155mph+):

Supposed to pass/hit my area on Friday.

Oh the irony of a nasty storm on labor day weekend. Glad I am not going to the beach, but the other way.

But I am working on contingent plans to leave early (and buy ice) in case it changes and heads my way.

Earl is now a cat 4. They said if it veers to the left a little in the next day it will hit shore.

keeping a close eye on this one.


Our coast has wicked surf and is losing people from the all the riptides and undertow between Danial and Earl.

This weekend I would be willing to bet the beaches will be closed.

I have a question. When Danielle went through the area did she heat or chill the Atlantic? Or neither?

I think neither.


I was telling someone just this mornign that things have been a little too quiet.

Now we have three storms in the Atlantic.

I bet we are gonna make up for our drought all at once.

Damn and they had a really warm summer. I hope it's only a Cat 1 when it reaches Nova Scotia.

I have nothing useful to add, but couldn't walk away from this thread without this:

May all those who encounter Earl remain safe and protected.

The Atlantic is looking very busy right now. That's Fiona behind Earl, and then a new wave off Africa.

I don't think there is a chance of it making landfall as a hurricane near NYC, but its possible.

This is a dangerous situation, but I do agree with you, it should be exciting.

you must fear and respect all forces of nature... but to see her in action with front row seats is probably the only fun part.

I think around 8-10 years ago, Hurricane Fran (I think ) threatened the area, but only came ashore as a very weak TS borderline TD.

Earl is stronger though.

Actually I have watched shows that have said NYC is very prone to hurricane storms. Rare but prone.

The eastern US is used to this sort of thing. We have braved hurricanes before.
But I think the issue here is economic. Labor day weekend is a big money making weekend for resort towns.
