With all of the hurricane posts and watches here over the years, is no one watching and worrying about the possibility of a hurricane developing and hitting NYC, LI, or NE this weekend? It is still speculative and a long way out, but the alerts are starting to go out:

Not predicted to be anything like the devastating hurricane of 38, but the NE is vastly more populated. I saw a show recently on a hurricane hitting NYC and even a Cat 1 flooded portions of the city with a storm surge and a Cat 3 put lots of Manhattan under water (and there is no plan or no possible to evacuate cities in the East).
I was planning on taking my daughter camping this weekend here in Vt, and we may miss this but I have been watching the weather lately. Just something to think about.
