I'll post in here but only because I can't be bothered to post in each thread.

I am nicknaming today "storm death day". Earl is really going down the pan(thankfully), Gaston died and Fiona looks to die today.

Maybe time to take a breather before things kick off again in a few days time.

I wouldn't right either of them off yet.

All this hurricane hunting is really put into sharp perspective when you're out here. I stayed with my friend's cousin in Long Beach NY just over a week ago. It's difficult to think that they have a tropical storm warning out, and their basement apartment that they put us up in could easily be flooded as they are less than 100 yards from the coast. Currently I'm with that person's aunt and she's been phoning down to them. Suddenly it all seems different. Suddenly, this picture I took when there doesn't seem so cool to have taken a picture of anymore: http://www.facebook....67&id=591331836

On Monday, I was in Boston MA. It seems weird to me that it could be battered by this storm. Much as I have always loved following hurricanes, it just seems a little different now. Fortunately it'll only be the really outer bands of rain that I feel tomorrow in Montreal QC, if at all. I just hope everyone can have their thoughts with the friendly folks who I met in Long Beach last week in the hope that this system does not affect them.

Earl has made landfall as a strong Tropical Storm and is now undergoing extra-tropical transition.

NYC a possibility?

The idea of a hurricane there really interests me from a weather point of view although clearly it would cause huge damage, which is not good.

You'll think I'm blowing my own trumpet here but a good call I think, setup looked right.

Closest and strongest since Gaston (2004) i think.

Interesting coincidence that Gaston (2010) is following the storm.
