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 Donna hit Long Island as a category 2 hurricane with winds of 105 mph.
September 21, 1938, on Long Island, NY
It is impossible to predict any sort of storm that far in the future.
As the hurricane approaches Long Island, the wind will likely be from the northeast. However, as the eye will be very close to, if not pass over, Long Island, the wind direction will change as the storm approaches, passes over and departs. At times the wind could come from the north, the east, the west or the south. When the storm is departing to the north and northest, the winds will likely be from the southwest.
For Worcester, Massachusetts: On September 21, 1938, Worcester, Massachusetts was hit by the brutal New England Hurricane of 1938. On June 9, 1953 an F4 tornado hit Worcester, killing 94 people, though it was not related in any way to hurricane activity. The hurricane, also known as the Yankee Clipper or Long Island Express, was the first major hurricane to strike New England since 1869. It made landfall on Long Island as a category 3. In 2012 Hurricane Sandy did more property damage in terms of dollars, but the 1938 storm is still listed as the second costliest storm to strike New England.
Yes. Hurricane Earl produced hurricane conditions in parts of North Carolina and tropical storm conditions in Cape Cod and Long Island.
If your talking about the east coast of Long Island on September 2nd then you're thinking of Hurricane Earl, the second strongest hurricane this season.
Hurricane Donna hit Long Island as a category 2 hurricane with winds of 105 mph.
It is currently quite unlikely that Long Island would see a direct hit. It is possible that Earl may remain close enough to the coast to receive some rain and wind, depending on which part of the island, but more likely at this point would simply be the scenario where Earl moves up the coast well offshore, unable to affect this part of the coast.
sandy
yes it is
Earl is currently forecast to pass to the east of New York, and in fact to the east of Long Island as well. But he could pass close enough to give some wind a rain and Long Island, and potentially NYC as well. He is still a few days away, and the track could change slightly. But even a slight change in track will have major implications for this region. Nonetheless, a direct hit appears extremely unlikely, as do hurricane conditions in New York.
No. Hurricane Matthew has turned out to sea and been absorbed by a cold front.
Yes, hurricanes have struck Long Island in the past. One particularly bad storm struck the island in 1938.
