I think it's all about the angle of attack.

Assuming a slightly more westerly approach, and the length of time Earl travels due north will determine the extent of damage and to whom.

The Thurs 8 am posit is predicted to be 29.8N 75.0W.
The Thurs 8 pm posit is predicted to be 32.8N  75.2W, just a few tenths of a degree more to the west.

Hatteras State Park is at 35.65W 75.47N so the numbers are already very close.

If that number changes to something like 75.8 to 76.00 degrees West Longitude then conditions could be much worse. Let's hope the NHC is accurate.

A degree of Latitude or Longitude is 69.2 statute miles.
