Tropical Storm/Hurricane Earl
Hurricane Danielle isn't making landfall, but it looks like Earl may give our friends in the Northeast US and Southeast Canada something to keep an eye on. Please be prepared and be careful. On the link below, you can click on the storm and it will give you the projected track. Keep in mind that projections change. Mother Nature has a way of making up her own mind as to what she wants to do.

Last week, the history channel repeated one of the programs about the effect of a hurricane on New York City, or really any other large city along the coast, and the results could really be bad if it is a major storm. I do realize they do dramatize things but they are bound to be close to correct.
Yeah, Earl will hit New England and it will be my fault...I have that week off and plan to be up north sleeping in a tent. Sorry my fellow New Englanders!
I was thinking West Branch of the Penobscott, so it's not all your fault. I think it must be Ken's fault, I don't know why, but I'm pretty sure it is.
I for one am watching this one.Use the link Crash posted and look at where Earl will be on Friday,then draw a straight line north.It looks like it could hit the RI/Mass line.Well if it does its going to get ugly quick over here.I have plans for a camping/astronomy trip next weekend.Im still packing for it but will be changing plans if need be.
I blame Ken too.Dont know why really but its soooo easy to do.

Red meat is good for you.Its the green furry meat you have to worry about.
Then it's settled...it's Ken's fault.
I've been watching it also Stargazer. They tend to hook east and head back to sea somewhat but it is looking like a direct hit for you down there right now.
Yea.. im actually clearing soMe over hangin branches away this weekend and during the week in preperation for the storm...
I have a few theories as to why it is Ken's fault... But I will leave it open to speculation as I'm sure it is a multi-layered reason... Or reasons...

The only easy day was yesterday.
It's been a while since we've got hit.
So it was really just a matter of time.Wish I would have bought that generator now.
Not sure if you haul off your limbs, cut them up to use, or city/county picks them up - but - around here so many people trim branches just before an approaching storm and then set debris piles at the curb to be picked up by the city. If they don't get to it before the storm, that debris piles becomes thousands of missile hazards.Originally Posted by NightShade
I think I know what the problem is, Ken hasn't been on a lot in the last week or so, or so it seems to me, I think it's causing a low in Mass. and RI. Now if he was to get back on like in the past, It might cause a High, and push the storm out to sea. Just speculation.
I cut them up and add to the wood pile... where my wood pilE is and terrain around my house its not TOO much of a wOrry... plus they are some pretty big and heavy oak branches... much higher risk of them crashing thru my roof! My house has a full canopy cover.. Can't see it at all from above.. There's no way I even could get them all.. Only the dead ones..

I was thinking along the same line... I pushed back buying the generator because I needed to buy a new computer for my kids to use for school.. And my wife for all volunteer boards she works on... Oh well... Cross my fingers... Luckily I have a lot of family relativly close by should power be out for an extended time..

Looks like they've got it tracking east. A glancing blow.
Always looks like it's going to slam us but turns East at the last minute.
Forcast for here is very warm, 90s and quit humid.

I remember Gloria and Bob.
During Gloria we were just outside the bad wind radius and were outside playing in the downpour. We lost power and dad hooked up his welder as a genny to keep the freezer cold. And to brew coffee.
Bob was just a windy rainy day.
I don't particularly care if a hurricane/emergency situation happens before winter sets in. I'm pretty set for that. It's when it happens in the cold and snow that it gets worrisome.

From a "customer out of power" respective, I'd rather it hit in the winter. I can still heat the house but the food keeps so much better in coolers in the garage then it does in this weather. As a lineman, this is a great time of year to get a big storm. The storm blows away and we can do the cleanup work in sunny weather.

Not sure how relativly close is but IF we get hit and you can make it down to the coast my door will be open to you and yours.Im only about 45min from you I think.

Of course it's my fault!
Hell, I get blamed for everything else, so why not a hurricane too?
