Please put in a good word with the man upstairs for those of us who are in Earl's path. I live on the coast in Virginia, you could say we are just slightly north of the outerbanks area. I know KB has some property in the outerbanks so Im sure he is watching as well. Earl is expected on its current course to hit us Thursday/Friday he will be between a cat 4 or 3 hurricane. So we will see winds up to about 135mph, which sucks my 2 month of old new roof is only good for winds up to 120. But really any faster and the roof is the least of my concerns. Typical hurricane smashes us hard about once every 10 years and we are due. What will I do? Send my wife and kids packing out of the area and I will probably have to work 12 hour shifts as my home is being destroyed 🙁 It has happened before, hopefully not again. Having been to the gulf coast after Katrina you appreciate the pure destructive power of a hurricane, I thought I was in a war zone I had never seen 20 ft boats sitting in the tops of 20ft trees. I could go on forever about how bad that area was, it simply looked like a bomb went off. So please send a prayer along the way, every little bit helps.
KB…get ready brother because we are in for a wicked ride if something doesnt change the monsters course.
I'm in Nova Scotia and Earl is expecting to make landfall here sometime on Sat., take care guys along the coast.

New Jersey here. Could maybe be a category 2 for this area. Will be keeping in mind all the folks who are in its path. Be safe.

yup, GL to us. It's looking like it is going to be a doozy. I'll definitely be tracking Earls path closely. Was supposed to go out there for the weekend, now im trying to decide if I should go just to try and do whatever I can to protect the house, or if i just let it ride.
To anyone else in the path…be safe!!
Lets hope that cold front coming across the country gets there in time and pushes Earl out to sea. I think by late tomorrow we will have a good idea of whats gonna happen.
so what you're saying is i picked a bad time to fly across from europe back to wilmington, NC(tomorrow)
lol if i die we can hold a TPE raffle for my stuff!

I was going to make a joke about getting Tyrone…but then realized how guilty I'd feel if something really did happen.

all good in the OBX. power out, some minor damage here and there…but pretty much came out unscathed.
Heading out today to help my parents clean up a little and drink a few beers with the old man. Enjoy your weekend all!
Well the eye passed us around 4am and I must say I was shocked. Its been very light wind and rain. It feels like just a plain old T-storm and not a bad one at that 🙂 Very Happy about this!!! Thanks for the prayers the man upstairs listened

What part of NS? I'm moving back to Antigonish tomorrow for skewl.
Glad to hear everyone's doing OK. Update in my neck of the woods– Downgraded from hurricane to a tropical storm, and where I am specifically, the wind and weather warnings have been lifted. It's still raining and the wind is swirling quite a bit, but this is nothing major. Have heard of some friends in the southern parts of Nova Scotia who's power has gone out and a couple trees down, so it seems a little stronger there, but good ol' Early boy seems to be tiring out.
it's actually turned in to a nice day here lol
I'm in Amherst. We got lucky here from the storm, lots of rain and windy but nothing serious, unlike Halifax which took a pounding. I bought a power pack to power my laptop in case I lost power while playing, but I never needed it………Goodbye Earl!
