Those waters off NYC's beaches aren't all that cold this year...I took a swim a couple weeks ago in the ocean at Fire Island, and while the surf pounded the stuffing out of me, it was warm like bathwater! Likewise the surf off the Rockaways...the long hot summer has increased the water temperature commensurate with the air.As you correctly point out, a lot depends on the storm track. If the storm makes land at or just west of NYC, as a strong Cat 2 or even a Cat 3, it will be deep poodoo for us. I expect Earl to skirt the coast from southern NJ to eastern LI, then hit Cape Cod. It's going to be one of those things, when people jam supermarkets starting Thursday night. If we get a direct hit by a Cat 3 or higher, the devastation may well make Katrina look like a spring shower by comparison. |
