No, i wouldn't call it hype. The ocean is very warm off Long Island and warm water is what fuels hurricanes. There is a good chance we'll see a rapid intensification as it passes east of the tri state area and at a Cat 3 - Cat 5 intensity if it turns westward.... well, all I can say is...lookout !!!
There is a good chance it may pass us without too much impact but until it does we are in very grave danger from this hurricane.
We already had 2 straight days of severe thunderstorms making our skies dark as night. So at this point I'd say be prepared for the worst.

Pretty average Summer this year. Can't say the same for some other places.
We were above 90 here for the first time since last year. The record is 7/15 IIRC from sometime in the mid-1980s.
Did get a small earthquake in the area last week. A 2.4 felt by 2 people but it was on the fault line that the nuke plant is on, so some are getting the jitters over it.

Summer is in swing in a big way again this year.....weather people talking about perhaps breaking high temperature records this weekend into the low 30 degrees Celsius! ........ overnight low temperatures are not going down to where they should be for summer,prompting a a couple of the climatologists around here that the local climate is behaving quite tropical and our local climate here is heading for a type of mediterranean climate after patterns following 5 years in a row...... and it looks like it's going to be an El nino winter......which for around here means warmer, no snow and slightly more precipitation. :-?
Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt!
Walk and Talk like a Canajun!!
I have given up on trying to predict the seasonal weather based on El' Nino or La Nina. Some say for us it means a mild winter with lots of rain. But I have seen the opposite happen, very cold weather and lots of snow along with an el' nino. And I have seen years with no el' nino that have been very mild. I am beginning to think that nobody really knows for certain what actual effect it will have during any season.

Sunny, 26.8 C now, humid after yesterday's rain.
Already had the 6 hottest months in a row ever measured here since January.

Wish it were hot here. Only hit 90F (33C) for the first time a few days ago. Now the weather service is predicting that overnight temperatures will be near or at record lows thanks to ... the Polar Vortex. The temps are supposed to get down to 50F or 10C. This is turning out to be the summer that sucks.
Interestingly, the gulf states and the Southwest are going to be higher than normal. Interesting how that works out. For the most part it's vote red and temps go up.

Another 29 C day today, sunny, almost no wind.
Every hot day here is followed by thunderstorms and deluges of rain in parts of the country and Germany/Belgium/France.
Caused some flooding damage in our country and one person killed, tree fell on him.
Nothing of that here, closer to the sea here so the storms are more inland.
Getting warmer there as well as here 30+ C...
Watching Discovery with a documentary about superstorm Sandy as I type..

Typical weather day for our rainy season: high of 81F (27C), with low of 59F (15C) tonight. Scattered thunderstorms. Nice weather, as most houses here have neither heating, nor air conditioning -- they are not really necessary.
