Should I keep an eye on Tropical Storm Hannah?

Question

I noticed that they changed the projected to path to Hannah and there's a lot of uncertainty but they're predicting it to go towards South Carolina now. I'm on Long Island,NY and I noticed that this path is similar to Hurricane Floyd which we got a direct hit from as a tropical storm back in 1999. But Floyd was a little further west and a lot stronger. But if it strengthens and it makes landfall as a category 2 in the Outer Banks like Floyd did which Hannah isn't predicted to be too far from and make a turn towards the northeast. What are the chances of this happening and it hitting Long Island?

Answer 1

this is da projected path

Answer 2

Agreed. There are simularities between the two. To me, hannah seems disorganized and weak, but that could change. Wish I could help you more but I'm not an expert, so don't know the chances.

Try unisys satelite imagery. It shows how organized storms are.

Oh, I have been interested in storms for awhile. My guess would be, long island should be ok.

Hopefully the people in New orleans will be safe as well.

Answer 3

no here is a projected path
