The forecast for Hurricane Earl is still pretty threatening for the East Coast. The people on North Carolina’s Atlantic coast and Barrier Islands are going to be evacuated. That is always a huge problem for the people who live there. Evacuation means boarding up your house, loading up the car with as much valuable stuff as you can squeeze in, and heading west in miles of backed up traffic to try to get to higher ground.

The hurricane has sustained winds of 135 mph already and the forecast says the winds could easily reach over 150 mph when it hit the North Carolina coast. My heart goes out to the people who live in its path.
