Very well done and we get to see Cantore with hair as well and of course it's always a pleasure to see the great John Hope.

Bob is a perfect example of why central to eastern LI and New England are so much more at risk for hurricanes compared to NYC and NJ. Bob stayed strong because it was well east of NJ where the waters are a lot warmer than by the immediate shore and because it was moving fast. Virtually of our area was in the weak western side of the wind shield. So while Bob maintained a real hurricane look it could only do so if it stayed well away from the shoreline, where the water is warmer. Bob was a significantly weaker storm than Gloria in the deep south and Gloria hugged the immediate shore which helped to weaken her quickly north of Virginia Beach.. One can imagine how bad Gloria may have been for New England (or eastern LI) if she had taken Bob's track. Further north as Bob nears New England it hits colder water but it's speed limits it's power loss. We'd need a storm to make a left turn into NJ and NY to get a big hit here and the earth's motion dynamics make that almost impossible. It could happen in slow moving stagnant patterns but that same pattern would work against hurricane's holding their strength this far north as they'd also spend a lot of time over non-trop colder water.
