Hurricane Earl Evacuation

Hurricane Earl is still traveling through the Atlantic Ocean but, it is still unkown whether or not it will hit the east coast of the United States.  Many of the vacationers staying until Labor Day had to cut there trip short and move inland off the coast.  Weather conditions are not terrible but, they still moved inland because of strong rip currents and the possibility of the hurricane hitting the coast.  Also, The Red Cross is setting up stations off the coast on islands, such as Long Island, in case the hurricane would hit one of them.  Many people on the coast are taking precautions for Hurricane Earl.  Hopefully the hurricane doesn't hit anywhere on the United States, as of now, this is still a possibillity.
