Hurricane Joaquin Path Is Likely Going Out To Sea
What do you know, the European computer model is right once again, right from the very start! Making a mockery of the other cheesy computer models, putting them all to shame. For now on, my money is on the Euro model!
Update: Bye bye Joaquin as you exit stage coach right, lol. That’s how it’s looking as of right now anyway.

The Baltimore Sun put out an article today titled:
European model that nailed Sandy shows Joaquin going out to sea. Here is an excerpt from that article below:
[The European gained credibility -- and generated some criticism for the American models -- when Sandy took a sharp turn toward New Jersey, just as it had predicted for days. Other models didn't see it, and eventually converged on a strike of the Delmarva peninsula.
This time, it's a lone voice again, but with a different sort of message.
Meteorologists simply can't take one model as gospel, said Matt Elliott, of the National Weather Service's Baltimore/Washington forecast office.
"The spread of the models is significant enough where it's still really uncertain," he said. "Yeah, there's a group of models that are taking it out to sea, but there's also several others that have performed fairly well in the past that bring it to the coast."]
Regardless of Hurricane Joaquins exact track, this storm will be affecting some 65 million people .
Accuweather reports: Flooding from Hurricane Joaquin will impact areas from South Carolina to Massachusetts regardless of whether it makes landfall or if the center stays out to sea.
People should not let their guard down due to a shifting track of the hurricane as the risk to lives and property in this complex situation remains high.
A copious amount of moisture will unload very heavy rainfall along parts of the Atlantic Seaboard and the Appalachians into early next week. Strong winds, coastal flooding and beach erosion will occur and could be very damaging even in the absence of a landfall.
