Hurricane Earl people preparing by Suzannah B. Troy

Hurricane Earl is not going to directly hit NYC and NJ but is expected to cause some trouble so people are on alert.   New York's Dept. of Building is making sure all constructions sites are secure and if not expect fines.  Fire Island in Long Island does not have to evacuate at least not yet.


Right now Hurricane Earl is category 4.   It is dicey whether Earl will be more smoke than fire but let us hope all will be safe from loved ones things we love....

All along the Eastern Coast people are making choices whether to cut their vacations short especially folks in North Carolina where people have been given mixed messages that the storm will barely touch or the opposite.  Rather than be safe than sorry some people are packing it in or boarding up windows to be safe.

Actually in Ocracoke Island on the outer banks of North Carolina there is a mandatory evacuation according to Daego.com.

Here in the NYC area only beach erosion but we will see if there is any fall-out.

Thanks for tuning in....
