Plotting A Hurricane: It’s Tricky

So here we go into Labor Day weekend with hurricane Earl nipping at New England’s toes. It’s a whopper, might go to a category 5, might not.

There are evacuations going on up and down the eastern seaboard just in case. Some folks are still on vacation in the Carolinas but they’ve packed up the family car and are headed out. Those evacuations route traffic jams are no fun.

We go thru this every year in the U.S. some hurricanes threaten, some hit land, but a lot of this is uncertain even with all of the weather experts putting their heads together.

WTNH-TV meteorologist, Geoff Fox at his game for decades, gets verklempt every time one of these bad boys starts to form in the tropics. You don’t want to cry wolf, but you need to talk about it and warn folks as best as you can.

So with Fox pouring over all of his data, I pointed my trust video camera at him and started throwing questions his way and here’s what he said on the massive storm known as Earl due to affect Connecticut on Friday.

  • Great candid interview with Geoff Fox about the hurricane. He’s a weather geek for sure(in a good wawy), that program looked like Tweetdeck for hurricanes! :) Nice job!

  • Lou Lange says:

    Great interview, Ann. I love how Geoff (and all the weather forecasters @ Channel 8) tell it like it is not, as Geoff said, like people WANT to hear it.

  • Helen says:

    Great way to keep Geoff calm Ann! – You can almost feel his stress across Connecticut at times like this! Love the video idea!
