Earl's path along northeast is not well-worn - The Associated Press- global warming news
Hurricanes have smacked the Northeast before — a fast moving whopper in 1938, Carol and Diane in the 1950s and Bob in 1991. It is not predicted to directly hit a city in the Northeast, but skirt close enough along the coast to be more a scare and an irritant than a major killer. Earl hit the trough as the low pressure was shooting from the south to the north. This summer, the water off the East Coast is about 2 to 3 degrees warmer than normal, allowing Earl to stay stronger longer, said Timothy Schott, tropical cyclone program director at the National Weather Service in Silver Spring, Md. But more storms increases the chances that one of those will smack the Northeast like the Great New England Hurricane of 1938.
