Not predicted to be anything like the devastating hurricane of 38, but the NE is vastly more populated. I saw a show recently on a hurricane hitting NYC and even a Cat 1 flooded portions of the city with a storm surge and a Cat 3 put lots of Manhattan under water (and there is no plan or no possible to evacuate cities in the East).
Boston and many other eastern seaboard cities most certainly do have hurricane and emergency evacuation plans and routes marked with those familiar little blue and white signs.

I was planning on taking my daughter camping this weekend here in Vt, and we may miss this but I have been watching the weather lately. Just something to think about.
There's weather from a coastal storm this weekend, whether the tropical storm becomes a part of it or not. May or may not affect weather inland.
They didn't do too well forecasting the weather two weekends ago. Occaisional showers aren't supposed to amount to two inch accumulations. :-)
