Earlier this week, the fear was that the storm would still be a category 2 or 3 when it reached Long Island and be moving a bit slower, too. Fortunately for all, it weakened slightly and may just barely be a category 1 hurricane at LI. I figure that also reduces the severity of any storm surge. By now, you know I live near DC and thus right now I'm in the midst of the fringe edge of the storm. It's pretty good winds, but nothing I haven't experienced with Isabel.
Now, there is some criticism that maybe The Weather Channel, usually a somewhat sober channel, has been a tad sensational (though again, the earlier forecasts were for a category 3-4 to hit NC, still be a category 3 off the Delmarva and at 2-3 in LI, as opposed to it weakening just before NC landfall). http://j.mp/o8n6m9 -- TV or Not TV ....
