Hurricane Earl quickly gathered strength Monday, becoming a dangerous Category 4 storm as it roared past Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Current winds of 135 mph and a forecasted track to “brush” the East Coast is surely bringing some serious swell. Directly in front of the Outer Banks, Earl is expected to be somewhere in between a Cat 2 and Cat 3 sometime around Thursday, September 2. Any small shift in the track could dramatically alter whether it makes landfall or whether it remains over the open ocean. Please stay on alert – not just for waves but the safety of others.
I tried to find some great meaning in “Earl” on urban dictionary but failed miserably. sorry
