My grandmother once told me the same year NYC got hit by the blizzard of 1947, the worst of the 20th century, they had one of the hottest summers on record. From one extreme to another in a matter of months. Other than a few mansions in Riverdale and the then brand new postwar luxury high rises built on Park Av, even most well-to-do people didn’t have AC yet. People who suffered in those old walk-up apartment buildings were sleeping on the roofs and fire escapes.

I was 12 years old in 1947 and remember that wild weather year in Boston.

I will have to check on the latest Mathew track as it seemed to have changed from last nights proposed racking prediction.
It looks like eastern coastal Florida is going to be hit hard.

If Mathew stays close to Florida in the warm Gulf Stream it probably won't weaken.

Let face it Mathew is an unpredictable Hurricane beyond 2 days of proposed tracking models. -Tom

Looks like more models are showing the storm looping back this morning, rather than continuing up the east coast.
