Hurricane Earl and East Coast

Looks like the US East Coast could take a bit of a fisting from Hurricane Earl.

Big Ass strom - Cat 4!! I was in Ike, which was a Cat 2/3 and that was freakin wild....  sustained 100mph winds are intense and fuck a lot of shit up.

Who's all up there? are they evacuating anyone?

Here's the models

Hurricane Earl isn't intimidating at all, they could've used like Hurricane Goku or something.

I was always told - Run from the water, hide from the wind...  get your sand bags ready!

I remember in Ike, the winds were so intense, pretty much like watching a jet engine in the rain - all the rain drops just get vaporised into a mist, so you can't actually see very far - then power goes out - for like weeks...

I hope it doesn't make a last minute shift to the west!!

Then you're all fooked...  im just glad it didn't come into the Gulf of Mexico, because it would have got absolutely huge then...

Pshht, I live in Maine, the powers out more than it's on here. Only a 500 year tide and flood can rise the water high enough to get to my house, and a 100 year only makes it up to the grassline near our dock. But it's always crazy to drive over to my grandparents who live on a point and watch the storm roll into the harbor.

I live about 2 miles from the ocean, went to the beach today and the waves were HUGE already, luckily Cape Cod will take a lot of it for us.

Hurricane swell is not the time to bust out a skimboard. Skimboarding is great around the mid east coast where the waves aren't that big.

grab your mini gun and go out and charge some waves.

Yeah I don't think I would ever go swimming in hurricane swell. Maybe if I was hammered but that would be a really bad idea. At least even body boarding you have something to float with, but still being on a piece of foam in a raging ocean wouldn't be fun.

I don't think anyone surfing it will have too much of a problem. Catch some waves, then ride back in.

when I was in cali in 07 i think it was, there was a crazy swell. The newport wedge was jacking up huge. Even the beaches were seeing 8-10 in spots. And the rip left a 3+ foot ledge on the beach. the one day we just waded out and even in 2 feet of water you could feel it trying to rip your feet out.

hurricane swells though, it you go swimming, you kind of deserve to get owned.
