Fox has sustained winds at 85.
Forward speed is slowing.
The storm is half over land. I’m going to go out on a limb and predict it won’t even be a hurricane by the time it reaches NYC.
Maybe even no longer a tropical storm. I’m reminded of the many times Al Gore’s “global warming” photo ops have been sidetracked by blizzards. :)
I’m seeing gusts up to the high 50’s. I don’t have TV so, maybe FOX is right. But I can’t find it. The sustained winds, aren’t showing 85. If there are any, where are they?
