Don't want to sound like Chicken Little with the "sky is falling", but, the Meteorological Center, just said the entire Eastern Seaboard from NC to Boston and everything in between is going to get croaked, with "a direct hit in New York City" a very real possibility.

Needless to say, all games, from amateur to professional, (that's a lot of games) will be cancelled.

this has been some crazy weather this year!

Mlink · Aug 25, 2011

very very windy right now here on wall street....almost feels like a storm is coming tonight

but as the chart says up there that bill posted, looks like us here in nj/ny will get hit sunday pretty bad... my advice if you live on an island or will be traveling to an island on the east coast for the weekend, change plans

maryland has really been spared rain of late, in the last 2 months i can only really remember it raining 3 or 4 times. always seem to have it in the forecast, but it never ends up happening where I live

Living here in Houston, I've been through plenty of tropical storms and hurricanes. Stay safe people and I hope everyone escapes any serious problems.

Yes, but what is certain is the blocking high off the coast (the expert on TWC said it was the size of a mountain) guarantees the storm batters the coast, zero chace of blowing east out to sea.

What is uncertain is how much the storm weakens once it hits land.
North Carolina?
