Not long after North Carolinians stopped worrying about Hurricane Earl we’ve got more fun lining up in the Atlantic. Hurricane Igor has grown to a strong storm with 140 MPH winds at the moment. Igor is bearing down on North Carolina as of now, though it will be a week or so before it reaches its closest approach. Most likely it will be pushed aside the way Earl was by the high pressure sitting over us.
Following Igor is “Tropical Depression Twelve,” which is expected to become a tropical storm very soon. Life near the Atlantic is always full of excitement!
