This is the first one to arrive this year and Hurricane Earl is  a Major Cat 3 and is moving NW. Not since 1991 did the US East Coast see such a giant storm.   Watching the satellite right now it appears Earl is strengthening again, and could become a Cat 4 again shortly!  Hurricane watches and warnings are up along the midatlantic coast, and they’ve started evacuation orders for Cape Hatteras.

If you have not done so, get to your boat and start securing things.
