New York (GaeaTimes.com) - Earl is a powerful hurricane in Atlantic Ocean. It belongs to the category 4 which clears that it’s ominous. So its path is being constantly tracked by the National Hurricane Center in Miami. Earl is currently moving toward the west-northwest with about 14mph. According to the information provided by the research center Earl is moving towards the east coast of the U.S. and can reach the coast by Thursday evening. Earl is expected to reach 150 miles of New Jersey shore on Friday.

The ocean swelling on the predicted off shore could reach a peak of up to 11- feet seas off shore and surf waves 9 feet tall because of Earl. National Weather Service meteorologist Scott Kelly said “It’s good conditions for surfing.” Still the warnings remain in effect for the extremely fatal rip currents and rough surf those can upend people bashing them onto the sands. For swimmers is not good. It has ecological adverse effects as well for the turtle nests. The nests were already washed off by Danielle earlier.

Boaters are also warned about the potential peril lying out there in the ocean and ocean inlets. The expected route of Hurricane Earl will be north about 400 miles off the Treasure Coast. Maximum velocity of winds on Tuesday was 135 mph.

Earl is becoming powerful with the passing of each day. The matter of further apprehension is that a Tropical storm Fiona is slowly forming behind the dangerous Earl. It has sustained winds velocity of about 40 mph. It is expected to just touch the Northern Leeward Islands in the Atlantic. It will then move to the ocean and stay there in it.
