I am growing concerned about widespread power outages for millions of people on Tuesday and Wednesday. Trees and power lines will not be a match for southeasterly wind gusts of 50-70 mph. Western and northern New York, in particular, do not often get such strong southeasterly

A lot of major headlines in the news, but this deserves your attention as well. A major hurricane coming this close to New Orleans Sunday/Monday is a very big deal. Still some time to fine tune the forecast, but Louisiana needs to be on high alert.
