Hurricane Earl’s projected path in 2010 could affect North Carolina. Currently, Earl is out in the Atlantic Ocean, and has maximum sustained winds of 110 mph. As you can see from the map photo below, the Hurricane could impact the country’s east coast.
Of course, the Hurricane doesn’t appear to be making landfall in the US until Friday of this week. There’s a lot that can happen in the meantime. The storm system could potentially weaken as it approaches land, or it could change trajectory and head out to sea without impacting the US eastern seaboard.
Currently the storm is near the Caribbean Islands. The storm system is right at the Leeward Islands right now.
The hurricanes are only the most recent natural disasters. There has been a lot of damage caused this year by mother nature, from earthquakes to the flooding in Pakistan. Still yet, we have until November for the Hurricane Season. Considering that Earl is the season’s 5th tropical storm/hurricane it’s been rather mild. Five years ago, Katrina pelted Louisiana, and that was the season’s 11th tropical storm/hurricane.
