Hurricane Earl Path

Hurricane Earl path may cross Long Island, Cape Cod before Labor Day

Hurricane Earl may become a bigger threat to the East Coast than previously thought.
The latest National Weather Service projection has moved the track of the storm, now a Category 4 hurricane, farther west. If Earl stays on that path, it could threaten the eastern US, especially Long Island and parts of New England, as early as Thursday night or Friday.Weather service officials, however, say, “Nothing is etched in stone.”

Cable news loves nothing better than a good natural disaster to devote all it’s extra coverage hours to: great narrative, great drama, great visuals. And as cable luck would have it Hurricane Earl is making its way up the East Coast just in time push the newscycle through the last days of the August doldrums (insanity).
