I'm predicting that it'll turn out like Earl, with a recurve away from the East Coast.

Will it hit the east coast again or will this one be a fish?

Its a Fish! It will swim to the west of Bermuda and the East of the US. It may impact Nova Scotia.
You can get her models and more on her page on my website... http://917fm.dnsalias.com/tropics/vest92.html
I do think she will be VERY strong.

I don't see the need to be hawking your site here.  There are plenty of places to get info on storms including the nhc.noaa.gov

Highest gust so far is 81mph in North Wales but no real damage has occured. A horse race in Edinburgh was abandoned after the first race due to the conditions.

At my own station the highest gust of 36mph is quite disappointing but I'm 30 miles inland from the Irish Sea coast.

All in all we seemed to have escaped quite lightly.  :grin:
