| I hear this idea of a storm "riding up the eastern seaboard" every season, but when do we ever actually see it happen? Most storms that turn poleward around the Bahamas or even between Florida and the Bahamas eventually curve out to sea. Once they get north of around 33 latitude it takes a mighty ridge to the storm's east to keep it on a northward path for a true "ride up the seaboard". Even the Long Island Express was headed out to sea before a powerful ridge built in to nudge it back toward the west on a collision course with Long Island, as you can see in the graphic below: 1938 Long Island Hurricane track:  |
