With the change of seasons comes the change of weather. We are entering into the months of Hurricane season and it is no surprise that we are already hearing about storms brewing along the coast. After seeing the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina it is easy to imagine the possible catastrophe Hurricane Earl has to ensue. 

According to Tom Moore, the leading meteorologist for the Weather Channel, Hurricane Earl is expected to makes its way from North Carolina to New England by Friday travelling at speeds of 16 miles per hour. Most recently wind speeds are north of 145 miles per hour which is just 30 mph less than the speed of Hurricane Katrina.
