Tropical Storm Earl 2010 Becomes Hurricane Earl 2010 (Projected Path MAP)
August 29th, 2010
Tropical Storm Earl update 2010 – Tropical Storm Earl has strengthened to Hurricane Earl, and is projected to become a “major” category three storm later on tonight. Although the storm system isn’t expected to come to the stateside, it’s still set to wreak havoc to the Leeward Islands.
Warnings are in effect for the British Virgin Islands. A Tropical Storm warning and a hurricane watch are in effect for Puerto Rico.
Hurricane Earl is expected to do much more damage than Hurricane Danielle, which reached a peak of Category 4 before dropping in strength to Category 1. It did not make landfall, and doesn’t appear to be approaching landfall, either.
On the other hand, Earl is still threatening Atlantic Ocean chains. Many are holding their breaths, hoping that the storm doesn’t change course and head towards the US.
The storm is heading West Northwest at 14mph with 85mph sustained winds, with some gusts of higher winds.

Great write up, bookmarked your website for hopes to see more information!
I live in Nova Scotia Canada, we are supposed to be hit around 730am tomorrow, we have been told to prepare to be without power and water for at least 72 hours.
Have medications, refilled. Gas up our cars and have cash on hand. Put anything that is not nailed down away.
(chairs tables, flowers toys that type thing) most of us are ready for it I think,
good luck to all out there..hope Earl changes his mind and goes out to sea!!
