TF strength winds 250 mi from the center on the eastern side??
And why the weather geeks are calling this a big one while the rest argue if it's worthy because of the Saffir-Simpson rating.

Even if the winds aren't that terrible I think this has the potential to knock out a lot of power when it reaches NE. Curious what the storm surge may be in Mount Hope Bay tomorrow morning...might have to walk down for some pics if it's not too bad.
