Hurricane Earl




Now more than ever all East Coast eyes are on Hurricane Earl! The storm is a Category 4 Hurricane with winds of about 135 mph! It is moving W/NW for now and will eventually turn more to the NW over the next 24 hours. At that point in time it will be heading for the North Carolina coastline and should then turn back to the NE. This would keep it out over the ocean and spare NC from the worst weather. HOWEVER, it is now possible that before turning fully NE it could make landfall around the Outer Banks, providing a crushing blow to that portion of North Carolina. Hence, all eyes are on Hurricane Earl over the Atlantic Ocean!

1 map has the latest data from the NHC...and the other has different forecasts (colored lines) and a cone of possible direction the storm will take through the next 72 hours...

Here's the address for the National Hurricane Center...
