Tropical-storm-force winds extended about 180 miles northwest of the center, Wanton said."The hurricane center always errs on the side of safety," he said.Computer guidance continued to insist that Earl would turn northeast once it reached Hatteras, N.C., late Thursday. </span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"> </span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">It was expected to </span><a href="http://www.my-luxuryhandbags.com/">Chanel bag</span></span></a> pass within 200 miles of the South Jersey coast Friday afternoon before speeding toward New England.As for Philadelphia and the mainland, it could be quite a windy weekend - but that would likely be from breezes in the wake of a cold front that will help nudge Earl offshore.Hurricanes are notoriously volatile, and two of the state's </span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"> </span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">Most-damaging </span><a href="http://tonujiplane306.com/">Princess</span></span></a> in terms of flooding - in 1938 and 1944 - followed offshore tracks.Harry J.
