Earl a joke?
Seems more like this storm will be a joke for the south shore.

I don't think the south shore was ever seriously threatened, but for those of us on the cape and islands this was no joke.....and still may not be.

NWS 2 PM update still lists 80% probability of 50 kt+ sustained winds for most of the Cape, and the westernmost predicted track still takes the eye right over the Vineyard, and close to right down the Canal. Unless it makes more of a NE shift in the next few hours, we'll feel effects from it. Right now still moving NNE. Right now the Cape is the only area on the coast still under hurricane warnings, but Earl is slipping towards TS strength.
More than enough to take down trees and power lines.

You've got to think if people can't deal with a storm that doesn't deliver, there's something really wrong going on. What's with all these threads and posts?

Look at it this way--sooner or later, there will be a pinwheel that is bearing down on us, and a lot of these big talkers will say, "it's all media hype, remember Earl? This one will do the same thing". 
And when we get it right in the kisser, maybe they'll be less wind on this site down the road--or they'll be 5 threads bitching about what a sucky job N-Star did in getting the power back on--a week later when they get power back.  |

I know, I did all I could and thankfully it petered out, now I got 50 lbs of ice to make cocktails with, so I guess it's not all bad.

Hey, a lot of people said that the people that waited out Katrina were dumb because they did not heed warnings. They new the storm would hit, just not where until the last 24 hrs. The storm could move 50-75 miles either way.
Earl was continually creeping west of predicted tracks until less than 18 hours out when it started catching the wave to northeast.
Had the storm continued west as 24hrs prior and for whatever meteorological reason tacked further west instead of east, we could have had landfall on the Cape and Islands. Landfall would allow the extremely heavy winds on the eastern side hit instead of the lighter winds of the western side. That would have done a lot more damage.
Move the storm 50 miles west of that and significant more damage hits.
Definitely a better safe than sorry episode. We got lucky. Next time one comes up that is this close, play it safe instead of being complacent.

Plan for the worst but expect the least.

I've never been out there but hear Elbow Ledge is famous for producing some huge waves when the conditions are just right.
