The last two days have been good news as you have seen us talk about on the shows.

As long as Hanna doesn't move more west than we are going to see minimal impacts on the coast. Big waves and rip currents, along with tropical storm force wind gusts. You may want to have windows facing the ocean boarded up but otherwise, not too likely with this track we will have damagin winds.

Be prepared for a change in the forecast so that you could react with little notice. If we have to adjust the track more west than a HUGE change in the forecast would be seen because we would be taking on more of the storm itself, meaning stronger impacts for you.
