That means were sick.

Actually the redder the color, the more intense.

No I think they just change the color later on for contrast.

they are saying it's only 45mph in NYC...is that currently or projected when it reaches us?

if you click the right arrow on that page linked above, it shows it will be around 75 when it hits LI.

Look on weather.com their maps are easier to read.

The cone widens and the color changes because the forecast is less certain the farther north you go at this point.

I think that is what it is currently. They say it will pick up speed as it heads north. Lets hope it blows out to sea and keep our east coast safe.

We are suppose to stay in Fire Island, Friday, Saturday and Sunday...looks like we will not be going

at least that's what happened here.

At least in our area, as long as you have a mortgage, you are required to have insurance--the lender doesn't want to be without protection!
If the homeowner doesn't provide it, they will, and tack it on to your expenses--rest assured, it's a lot more expensive than if the homeowner himself buys it!

When is it predicted to become a hurricane? I think it's still tropical storm status...?
