Reports from several of my friends in Oriental, NC are that, as of three
hours ago, the winds were about half of the predicted strength (15-18
mph as opposed to the 35+.) So far, Earl has been quite kind to everyone
he's visited. :) My friends in St. John, USVIs described their sudden,
terrifying realization in the midst of the passage that they were out of
coffee!!! Fortunately, it was a false alarm, and thus bloodshed and loss
of life (or at least having to go ashore) were avoided. Darn it, I
*knew* those hurricane things were dangerous...
The New York area is down to a 21% cumulative probability for gale-force
winds; Boston is currently at 41% cumulative for gales, 7% for storm
force. It ain't over till the fat lady sings, but at this point, it just
looks like a two-reef sailin' breeze.
