Tracking Hurricane Earl
Accuweather forecasts show Tropical Storm Fiona lining up right behind Hurricane Earl, and could prove to be an interesting, if not dangerous set of powerful storms to hit the New England area. Rhode Islanders should be especially concerned and pay close attention the weather forecasts the next few days.

According to Providence, RI station, WPRI.com, Rhode Island hasn't seen a hurricane in almost two decades.
