keeping swimmers out of the water. during labor day throwing vacation plans up in the air. just update us on the track. is this sideswipe, direct hit? what are we looking at? the models are still showing us different things. we are certainly hoping for a complete turn away but that may very well not happen. if anything, the track has been shifting a little further to the west as we go through the past couple of days. it is a little more daunting. little bit more ominous now than it has since the whole ordeal started. the only difference is we are now at a category 3 versus 4. that s like saying i would rather get hit with a mac truck versus freight train. it will approach the coastline of the carolinas late tomorrow night and into early friday and then maybe even new england coastline, too.
