Hurricane Earl Path 2010
Hurricane Earl Path 2010. As Hurricane Earl picks up steam on its way toward the US East Coast, some are predicting that the storm could force a number of evacuations ahead of the Labor Day weekend. This will likely put a damper on the plans of many vacationers who are in the area. The Federal Emergency Management Agency warned individuals along the east coast that there is a possibility that they will be calling for evacuations, depending on the course that Earl takes as it approaches land.
The storm is currently at a Category 4 level, making it a very dangerous storm. It will bring high winds and heavy rain to North Carolina as early as Thursday, and could potentially cause a lot of damage if the storm makes landfall. The storm is also expected to hit the Cape Cod area and the shoreline of Maine sometime on Friday night or on Saturday.
As of now, it is still too early to tell how close the storm might come to land. There is a possibility that the storm could turn at a sharper angle than expected, and avoid making landfall altogether. That would be the ideal situation, and it could potentially keep the US from evacuating thousands of people in a hurting economy before the holiday weekend. Even the smallest shift in the course of the storm could drastically change the situation for better or for worse. The Federal Emergency Management Agency will be keeping their website updated with the most current information regarding evacuations and the path of the storm.
