The latest NHS forecast still looks like it’s riding the coast the entire way up the Delmarva into NJ before hitting around NYC. But it’s still so far out that the track errors could be huge (they say a four-day forecast has an average variance of +/- 200 miles to the centerline of their estimate, and they show that on the map). I think it’s fairly safe to say that the coastline along the Eastern Shore and up into DE, NJ, and Long Island had better get ready for a wild Saturday and Sunday, though. How wild depends on just a few miles movement of the storm.

The diagram they showed on Fox News showed it cutting into NJ around Atlantic County.

Just had a new roof put on 5 years ago.

Suppose to be able to take up to 100mph winds.

I hope they are not tested this weekend.

Ok...here’s one for anyone near NYC..

My friend and her 20 something daughter have had a NYC 5 day trip planned for a long time, see a couple Broadway shows, etc. They are still planning to go—fly Sat from FL.

I think its nuts...Am I overreacting? I can’t imagine being in NYC during a major hurricaine...they are assuming that large hotels have generators.

I personally would cancel the trip, take the travel ins money and reschedule. but then, what do I know.
