This is going to be really bad. Everyone please be safe.
With the new 8PM models just out, it looks like the storm moved further west again and it looks like it will brush land from NC all the way up. For our forum weather experts - Does it look like it can lose a lot of strength in the amount of time between hitting NC and hitting NY?
I'm by no means a weather expert, but with the storm only skirting the coastline with the center of the storm staying over land it won't lose a lot of its potency. The part of the storm that draws all the moisture in off the ocean to fuel it will still be mostly over water unfortunately.
The land temps have been cool, which hopefully will slow it down (hurricanes thrive on warm temps). It's somewhat early, but I'm seeing forecasts that have the eye passing through the shore of New Jersey at 3pm on Sunday with 86mph winds and 103mph gusts.
Again, it's early. I think whatever we here Saturday will of course let us know if we need to start changing our underwear. Regardless, I plan on stocking up on supplies TOMORROW. Get it done EARLY. Be safe now instead of sorry later.
It looks like we will get hit when it is in between a CAT 1 and CAT 2. Also it looks like we will see it early Sunday until late Sunday night.

I don't know if I should laugh or be really concerned at that one.:confused:
Currently in Orlando here on business...........today (Thur) just had a few gusts and a outer band of rain this morning, otherwise nothing earth shaking! Flying back home Friday late afternoon to LGA. Hopefully, I am able to get back home to batten down the hatches. Everyone stay safe.
Phil, enjoyed a bit of a laugh.
Well, We're as preparedas we're gonna be. May tape up the windows and bring the patio set into the garage but otherwise enjoying tomorrow.
City Of Long Beach has instituted a voluntary evacuation now, however, I anticipate that it will turn into a full fledged mandetory as of tomorrow night some time around the close of business.
Wishing you all the best of luck, please stay safe up there.
