Earl - Storm Impacts

As of 8PM, Earl is packing winds of 110 mph as he gradually nears the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Heavy rain bands and gusty winds are now moving ashore near Cape Hatteras. Earl will begin to accelerate up the coast tonight, turning northeasterly. The official forecast track by the National Hurricane Center puts Earl just east of Nantucket Friday night.

Here is my take on what we will see on Cape Cod:
