Key West 1998. First time I actually considered moving from the Florida Keys. But I still didn't for 4 more years. That was some scary shiznit though.

They are updating, 932 mb ... still heading west (no northward turn yet).. so heading straight for NC. They are expanding the evacuation areas. Cat 3 or 4.. worse case senario, hits the point (Cape Hatteras area)

Of course, as another Floridian said.. you really don't know what's going to happen with these, until it happens.

Justin25: YOU OK??

 

[BiancaMontgomery]

We just HAD to move to NC!

Chelle: are you near the coast?

I guess it's time to start moving the pool & patio furniture & grill.... Really don't feel like fishing chairs out of the pool again. My grill has been knocked over a few times & that thing is pretty heavy! We get some really nasty wind gusts around here just in a good thunderstorm.. I am not really expecting much from Earl... just winds. Thankfully! (hopefully he stays further off shore)

Stay safe everyone... especially in the Outer Banks!!!

Chelle: are you near the coast?

I'm in Raleigh. We should be fine.

Well, I'm a long, long ways from most of the folks that risk getting hit by Earl or I'd offer to house any refugees.

That being said, I've managed to accumulate some points at various hotels that could provide a night or two of electricity and/or running water. If anyone gets hit and needs these, please feel free to get in touch with me. I'll do what I can to help you out.

Smilin - wow, that is one helpful picture. Sure stinks to be Canada. If that track holds up looks like they will get the worst of it. Hopefully this things swings out to the sea.

Maybe all the hot air in DC will cause it to swerve away

 

[JamBandPhan]

a good way to track it is Lansing, MI Weather / Stormpulse / Hurricanes, severe weather, tracking, mapping I hope this one fizzles out fast...

 

[what the hell]

I'm far enough inland here in Jersey. Shouldn't get much. I'll be charging batts in the morning just in case.

I'd wager that by the time it gets up to Canada it'll be severely weakened. That cold water will drop it down to a tropical storm before it gets to them.

2am here in Surf City NC and very happy to report we have dodged the Earl bullet. Plenty of rain and some wind but all is still standing and the power is on. Earl did have the Atlantic raging and it was very beautiful this afternoon. The waves were touching the bottom of the Surf City Pier...that's pretty dang high...Hoping my NC Brothers and Sisters fare as well as we did here...Good Bye Earl and Good Riddance......

 

[leannebug]

I crashed early last night.. how did the Bogue sound and Catarrete (sp?) hold up? Any news? (family there)
