U.S.: Hurricane Earl leaning in the general direction of the Outer Banks

  • A small error of 100 miles in the wrong direction could be a huge impact difference. Even a minor shift back to the west could bring impacts to portions of the coastline from the mid-Atlantic northwards.
  • National Hurricane Center Director Bill Read • Discussing how bad Hurricane Earl could be for the East Coast. The hurricane on its current track is unlikely to hit the coast with its full force, but it’s probably going to nail the outlying islands of North Carolina and then go up the East Coast, heading towards Cape Cod and Maine by Friday night. Protip: Careful about planning a Labor Day Weekend trip to the Outer Banks. source
