Day 242: Major Hurricane Earl
Hurricane Earl has intensified to a category 4 hurricane today, passing within 100 miles of San Juan, Puerto Rico. As you can see from the radar images, Earl is extremely well organized.
I know the official National Hurricane Center (NHC) forecast (as of this writing) calls for Earl to miss the east coast of the United States, I have seen enough stuff today to leave me with serious concerns with this forecast. All interested on the east coast, from South Carolina to Maine, should monitor Earl’s progress extremely closely. It is far from certain that Earl will not make landfall along the east coast…
