Hurricane Earl continues to get stronger and stronger.  And he is still projected to hit the Eastern Coast making it a very dangerous holiday weekend.  He's projected to hit North Carolina by Thursday and as a result hurricane warnings have been issued from North Carolina all the way up to Delaware, including parts of Massachusetts.

There were mandatory evacuations ordered for residents of North Carolina's Outer Banks, Ocracoke Island, Cape Lookout National Seashore and Hatteras Island.

However effects of Earl will be felt all the way to NY and NJ. Well basically all states along the Eastern Coast are receiving warnings about severe weather conditions.  Heavy rains and winds.



This Labor Day Weekend beach goers must beware.  They are warning that rip currents and dangerous surf will affect water conditions all weekend!  Some forecasters are even recommending staying out of the water completely.

Let's just hope Earl spares our coastal cities and citizens!
