Hurricane Earl is taking place in Georgia.
Hurricane Earl's peak sustained winds were 145 mph.
No! Hurricane Earl will might do some damage to Long Island, but, it will not destroy it. It will not do to Long Island New York, what the hurricane of Sept. 8, 1900 did to Galveston Texas. The panic and worry about what Hurricane Earl could do will probably be much worse than the damage Earl actually does.
Hurricane Earl is expected to hit landfall in the Outer Banks of North Carolina on Thursday, September 2 at nighttime.
In neither size nor strength is Earl bigger, though Earl is now a category 4 and is approaching Katrina's maximum strength.
