Hurricane Earl is still showing signs of danger on the coasts of the United States, and now authorities of North Carolina have forced people from the Ocracoke Island to evacuate. Ocracoke Island is an offshore island in the state of North Carolina and can be accessed only by a ferry. The access for the people from the island has become a great worry.

The authorities have forces evacuation from the island and will pull some 5000 people out of there. The evacuation can be done only by ferry and the evacuation process needs to be done fast, as if the Hurricane Earl comes to close then the evacuation from the island will become impossible.

Hurricane Earl has become a category 3 hurricane but chances cannot be taken, and there is continues monitoring done over Earls storm system to watch its development. The hurricane is moving northwest at the speed of 16 mph.

Hurricane Earl path is now destined to be away from the US shores, which indeed a sigh of relief for the people near the coast. The main state that could have been in the grip of Earl was New Jersey, but now it will be passing from offshore. Still there will be some impact on the Jersey shores as there will be an atmosphere of a tropical storm caused by Earl.

Earl will be bringing rip currents and high surfs along with it, as it kisses the US coast and heads north into the Atlantic. Hurricane Earl had packed up wind speeds of 135 mph and was located at a safe 1000 miles off the coast of Carolina.

It is on Friday that the citizens of New Jersey need to worry a bit, as there will be a 20-30% chance that Earl can change the state’s atmosphere into a tropical storm situation. N.J. can witness wind speeds of 39 mph along with strong rain. It can be officially said that Earl is on its way out, but still our fingers are crossed.
