Oh, crap!
Sept. 14 — Hurricane Isabel is on a collision course - Isabel weakened slightly Sunday but still was a powerful Category 4 storm as it plowed across the Atlantic Ocean on a course that could that could slam it into the central East Coast late this week. “It’s looking more and more likely that this is going to be a big event for the eastern United States,” National Hurricane Center meteorologist Eric Blake said Sunday.

"Landfall along the U.S Mid-Atlantic coast somewhere between North Carolina and New Jersey between 4 or 5 days (Thursday or Friday) is appearing more and more likely,” Stewart said. “Little or no significant weakening is expected to occur until after landfall occurs.”
