When we start becoming overconfident, we wind up in a whole heap of trouble. Rather be prepared for nothing than unprepared for something.

Emily blew up from not much overnight catching everyone offguard. We have been watching Katia for over a week & it has been very close to predictions all along.

Emily was a direct hit after it tracked over the Dominican Republic and raced towards us overnight.
The US forecasters monitoring her at the Base thought she was going to go on a more westerly track and slide between us and the US East Coast and didn’t bother warning us.

Google ‘Track hurricane Emily 1987′ and see !

Mother nature will do what it wants and being prepared for it is the smart thing to do.

Don’t forget what happened with Hurricane Emily in 86′.

Like Triangle Drifter says below, we in for some extra winds, not a hurricane impact as such.

Drama & scaring the public for no good reason. The information is right at your fingertips direct from the Hurricane Center, where TWC & all the rest of them get their info, showing that we are outside of the cone for even TD force winds. Expect nothing more than typical winter storm force winds.
