Preparation time for the East Coast
August 26, 2009
Tropical Storm Danny is
on track to move right up the Eastern Seaboard, starting as a hurricane when it reaches North Carolina on Saturday, and likely tracking over much of New Jersey, Long Island, and New England into Sunday. The story is
mainly being overwhelmed by news of Sen. Ted Kennedy's death, but East Coast hurricanes frequently move very quickly. Even a few days of advance notice may be enough for people who could be in the path of the storm to prepare with products like
portable electric generators and
flood-cleanup pumps.
