Over the past couple of weeks we have seen discussions of financial hurricanes striking New York but it now looks like there is an outside chance the city could see a real one, or at least a pretty substantial tropical storm.
Currently the threat is only a tropical wave which has brought some pretty substantial rain to Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic but at least two forecasting models call for the storm to track up the East Coast for a hit on the Big Apple. There are mixed opinions as to how strong it will get (either Category One Hurricane or strong Tropical Storm) and of course other models show it petering-out or avoiding New York entirely.
New York is not immune to such storms and in fact it looks like if the storm does hit it could do so around the 70th anniversary of the infamous 1938 Long Island Express.
The odds are this will amount to nothing much but it is worth keeping half of an eye on as the week progresses.
