Last night, this was the first threat this year that the local weather people took seriously as "a possibility".

Best Hopes for High Shear Winds,

Sorry Alan not this time..

Best hopes for the eastern seaboard having done sensible construction... But thats unlikely... Historically these storms hammer hard when developing this strong.

Cape Verde storms always worried me. I posted yesterday I grew up in the Flordia Keys.. They suck and usually rip things apart...

Bermuda High is working against us this year and EXPLOSIVE heat in the oceans.

Somebody is going to get hurt its just a matter of where the wobble is going. Right now the NHC places it hurricane heading just south of Haiti.. We will see how that goes there is still quite a bit of time while it moves this way.
