Hurricane Earl, or rather tropical storm Earl, spun its way past New York, far enough out to sea so we had neither wind nor rain to mark his passing. Having missed this hurricane, here is an interesting article on Weather.com that lists the top five most vulnerable and overdue cities for a very significant hurricane impact. They are:
Top 5 Hurricane Vulnerable & Overdue Cities
- Miami, FL
- New York, NY
- Tampa, FL
- Savannah, GA
- Atlantic City, NJ
Living here on the banks of the Hudson River, the number 2 on the list did catch my eye.
