The current forecast track portrays a strong nor'easter for this area. A boat owner on Cape Cod should be thinking about moving his or her craft out of harm's way.
As for here: If this track is what happens, expect nor'easter conditions on Friday afternoon into Saturday. Fire departments would be busy with reports of branches and trees on wires, perhaps flooding issues depending on how wide the hurricane's rain area is. Expect the circulation to throw a lot of moisture inland from the ocean. Local topography will play a role in enhancing it in some places, blocking it in others -- just like in our winter storms.
A lot of the trees that this storm might topple (in this area) are those that have been pre-weakened by thunderstorms this summer, or by the nor'easters of earlier this year.
