I lived in Wilmington, NC for about 4 years and this looks like a pretty decent storm. By the time it makes it to NY it could just be a TS depending on how far inland the storm makes it. The worst part will be after the eye passes and the southwest wall of the storm will carry alot of water with it. I now live in the mountains of NC and our weather forcast is 85 and sunny. So if your in the path good luck to you.
