View Hurricane Earl Path

Hurricane Earl can become a greater threat to the east coast than previously thought."The margin of error is 200 to 300 kilometers," says Dennis Feltgen, a spokesman for the National Hurricane Center in Miami. "But everyone should pay attention to this."

Even if the storm did not affect the coast, forecasters are sure to cause high waves that could prevent thousands of residents and tourists in the northeast to enjoy a dip in the sea this weekend Labor Day.


"The rip currents will continue until the first half of the weekend," says Henry Margusity, senior meteorologist with AccuWeather.com in State College, Pa.

Mr. Margusity says there is still much uncertainty about the exact track of the storm. So far, they suspect that everything remains on the high seas, leading to strong tropical force gusts on eastern Long Island and the rain in New York. The storm then the track and hit the northeast of Cape Cod for several hours before heading to Maine and Maritime Provinces.

"I think Long Island will only be a bad storm storm, and held there could be some hurricane-force winds," said Margusity.

If the storm was moving west even could follow Interstate 95 to the coast. This could cause major damage as the storm surge waters to get pushed up the Hudson River and strong winds hit Long Island.

"I could see the eye of court in eastern Long Island and Boston," said Margusity.

What will determine the path of the storm is a powerful area of low pressure is moving through the Midwest, bringing showers and thunderstorms.

"Hurricanes would go back to those lows," said Margusity. The area of low pressure can cause the storm to get caught in the northeast, according to the moment.

Emergency officials in New York say they have begun discussions with county officials on preparations for the storm.

"We have our plans in place," said Dennis Michalski, director of Public Information for the New York State Division of Homeland Security.

New York is better prepared than it has been in the past because it has an evacuation plan, said Nicholas Coch, a professor at City University of New York and an expert in the preparation.

But, he says, "New Yorkers were born complacent. Never think that hurricanes will hit, they think that cold water diverted or stopped. I heard all the reasons why I do not think that concern them."
