Weather Channel meteorologist Bill Karins says the latest projections show Earl coming closest to Cape Hatteras, N.C., and the Virginia coastal cities of Norfolk and Virginia Beach about 3 a.m. ET. Earl's a sprinter, though, so those projections will likely change several times today.
From there, Earl will track northeastward parallel with the Eastern Seaboard. Projections have it closest to Long Island, N.Y., and Nantucket Island, Mass., sometime around 6 p.m. ET tomorrow.
Even though the best guess right now is that the hurricane itself won't come ashore — meaning there won't be a lot of rain — Karins says Earl's weaker backside will still pack a powerful punch, with winds near 100 mph.
"There will be damage," he warns.



just wondering how far inland the severe winds will go?
Why is this here? It's January 2011!
Woops!
This certainly confused me. I thought we were having a hurricane in January.
delta- we are.
Wow if this is not the craziest year for weather. First the heavy rains, tornadoes, blizzards and now a hurricane. In January no less!! I feel bad for the people that are bombarded by these things this year. Although my relatives live in most of those states they have not been hit with the birds on the head!
Hello is anyone in the front office, must be run entirely by computers that don't think. Definately the wrong time of year for this type of storm. Think snow & Ice - thats whats being reported now
The date of the article reads 2 Sep 2010
Helllloooooo...............anybody awake there???
Robo news! LOL
The radiation from Japan has reached the east coast and caused a temporal shift! That or the editors and staff at MSNBC are a bunch of tards. I will leave it up to you to decide which is more likely.
Why is this post showing up as "new news" on June 17, 2011????
I didn't check that date. I was thinking up to the E already? Haha. MSN screws up again. this is 2011 idiots not 2010!
That is it no more MSN for me.

So they are, David. I'm almost as bad. when I first read the article, "I thought how did I miss that little bit of weather". Until I noticed the date, I was ready to pack up.
Why is this in the top headlines? It happened almost 10 months ago!
I live in VA and wondered why I hadn't heard anything about a storm heading this way.
This is still showing up!! Come on MSN people DEPEND on what you post here as being the news.....GET it together!!
