Hurricane Earl update at 8AM EDT,2nd sept

Hurricane Earl is continuing its track towards USA and the intensity as well.

At 8AM EDT on 2nd sept, Earl was at 30.1N,74.8W with 145mph winds at center. Its moving 18mph at NNW and having a central pressure of 932mb

Earl's path continues to be the same but little eastwards shift near the outer banks,NC

The current possibility is that Earl might miss North Carolina totally!

However, I am still finding Earl to strike the coasts of outer banks by 11PM,THU to 2AM Friday EDT
