Let us wait until Thursday before we all run out for buying stuff.

If, on this Thursday afternoon,  the maps still show a big storm,  for next Tuesday morning, then I would go to the stores to stock up.  Since the storm is moving rather slowly , I would not be willing to compare it to the famous 1938 hurricane.  I expect a nasty storm with 3 to 6 inches of rain and power outages.  Probably not a state of emergency situation.  As I said , if the storm goes to the extreme, we will only get about a 1 day warning.

I do not see this as a hurricane.  It should be a strong Nor'easter, which is enough trouble for anyone, especially with a full moon on the 29th.

Clearly this storm affects the immediate coast.  Do not expect 60 mph winds if you are even a short distance inland.  It is an ocean storm.
