Earl is an awesome storm. Thanks for posting Phil. This will spoil my plans to view the final fireworks show at Coney island this Friday night. My own fault; never wait until the final performance. Hope the LGA Kids Day has better weather.

Cat 3 storm again with 125MPH winds. It weakened which wasnt forcasted. A good sign. Models still havent changed as of now though evacuations have begun at the N.C. Outerbanks.
This is going to make for some GREAT surf. Thank God I am on the bay though just in case. I don't think I have the balls to mess with this one's surf the way I tried during the March storm but I will defineately be up on the roof of one of the condo buildings shooting.

Hey Phil, any word on if we can get a weather section? just curious
The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".
7PM back to Cat 4 Storm again with winds up to 135 MPH. Even if we dont get a direct hit this storm is so big the whole area will probably get some type of wind and rain. But the bright side is cooler temps for the rest of the weekend with Sun/Mon looking pretty VFR.
Right now we are under a Tropical Storm Watch and up and down the coast airlines and Amtrak are adjusting schedules.
We also have a Coastal Flood Statement a numerous air quality alerts.Issued by The National Weather Service

Looks like a conga line of storms is in place
11PM still a cat 4 storm and has strenghtened. 140MPH winds moving at 18MPH NNW. The eye has reformed and its a strong eye. Which means its in a favorable area to strenghten. Also the eye is HUGE like Katrina had and we all know how that ended up. This is highly resembling Katrina is size form and eye development. The one thing that it doesnt thankfully is that it hasnt raeched Cat 5. Models are showing it more to the east now. Another good sign

There is now a Tropical Storm Warning for Northeast and Southwest Suffolk.

Hurricane Earl Winds 145MPH moving NNW at 21MPH. Not good. Not good at all. Models are showing it to get closer to the tip of LI now. It is now also forcasted to be a stronger hurricane when it reaches us...
the latest tracks from Stormpulse show it going more East, and getting here earlier in the day/evening then predicted before.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
