Beautiful shots of this storm. "Does not appear to pose a threat to the East Coast..." That's a fair comment, but we'll see!

Notice how each model run brings Bill closer to the East Coast?
Today/s 12z run has it passing over Cape Cod @ 96 hrs.
Should the trend continue...watch out NYC!

That is a dangerous storm, I hope it stays away from all of us.

Thank you for this very informative article. We should always be prepared and ready for any natural calamities, for we can never tell when it comes. We need to stock up grocery supplies; check batteries for flashlights; important documents should be sealed in plastic envelopes; children should stay in one room; and lets hope this hurricane will pass by quickly.
