New Track for Hurricane Joaquin / myLot

Boston, Massachusetts

October 2, 2015 8:04am CST

If Joaquin continues to move northeast along the newly announced anticipated path, then it will not make landfall in the US at all and definitely not make landfall in New England. As I suspected, it's bound for Newfoundland. I hope that they are right about this path, although many times the projected path changes as the storm moves northward. But this may be the path that will cause the least disruption and damage for people living along the east coast of the US. By the time it gets as far north as Newfoundland, it will have been downgraded and will no long be a hurricane. If this is all true as forecast, I will be very relieved. Were you concerned about this hurricane's path, now rated at Cat-4?

Not sure what I'd do if faced by a whackin'great hurricane. I saw a tornado in Minnesota once, lifting cars and ripping up trees and bits of houses, that was scary enough.

Tornadoes are worse. Cows in trees and all that. Of course, you don't get as wet as you do in a hurricane.

@Rollo1 The hailstones in Minnesota are threat enough - baseball-sized!

I am always concerned for people living in the path of bad storms.

You know, it's already hit in the Bahamas, as a Cat 4 hurricane. But we see very little coverage of the damages there. If it hit the US as a Cat 3, we'd have 24/7 coverage on the news of the devastation. This new track is the best as it is almost completely over the ocean, making everyone safer.

This is good news for you, not for the people on the path of the hurricane.

If it follows this track, it will stay out to sea and no one will be in its path.

I don't mind getting rain from it but the winds get a little intense.

The winds tend to take out power lines, and that's always an inconvenience.

I can only say that those that are in the path of it are in my thoughts, as thankfully I am nowhere near it. I hope that somehow everyone will be okay.

If it follows the track they are projecting now, it won't hit any more inhabited areas. It should stay over the ocean.

I have family that live along the coast and am praying it continues to blow out to sea. The excessive flooding will be difficult enough to deal with. It's pretty powerful now as it passes through the Bahamas

The further out it is, the less worry for everyone.

Here's hoping it misses everyone until it's nothing but a light breeze

I'm not, but we never get anything but the weather that is disrupted by a hurricane where I am. thats one natural disaster I've never been through
