If you live anywhere on the US East Coast, from Florida to Maine, or the Canadian East Coast, from New Brunswick to Labrador, please have a look at this:

Hurricane Earl is a significant threat to your area. Keep an eye on this thing, and the developing situation.

If you live anywhere along the Outer Banks of North Carolina, or you live anywhere in the US Northeast, please pay close attention. This could become a serious situation.

It came up as a broken link for me. I can only assume that it's about that category 4 hurricane?

It headin' up the east coast?

Never mind, I stopped being a lazy ass and actually looked for information. Hopefully it calms down a bunch before it makes landfall up here.

Per the Capital Weather Gang on the Washington Post, it'll likely brush up the East Coast and hit in Canada about Saturday, though it'll depend on how other systems develop and how they push at it.

Also, on how the Atlantean weather machines are working this week.

We could use the rain.


Course I can say that since I live in land.

What about the residents of the Drink Coast?

Yeah, that was bad, but I couldn't resist.

Can't help but be aware of it around here. The local weather people are already salivating over the prospects, and you can see the TV stations getting ready for 24-Hour Storm Coverage. Is Shelby Williams still available?

Usually by the time a hurricane reaches the New England area it has weakened considerably and ends up being not much different than a winter Nor'easter, just without the snow and freezing temperatures.

Usually, yes. In this case, they're saying that it is apt to be around Cape Cod as a Category 2 Hurricane - roughly 100 MPH sustained winds, a bit higher than your typical Nor'easter.

What I love about Southern California is that we get STORM WATCH because it hardly rains, and then we get HEAT WATCH every summer because well, when you live in a desert having it be about 80 degrees is so unlikely.

We'll see. While it is obviously better to predict it to be strong and be favorably incorrect, my completely unscientific feeling is that it will be a minimal hurricane with 75mph winds at worst by the time it gets up this way. Stay tuned for updates.
