The storm is centered about 400 miles south of Cape Hatteras, N.C., and moving north-northwest near 9 mph. A turn to the north with an increase in speed is expected later in the day.
Residents of New York's Long Island, who had their fill of Hurricane Bill last week, have their fingers crossed that this weekend won't be a washout, or worse. Beachgoers are being advised of potential heavy winds, blinding rain and dangerous power outages.
"I started up my generator at home just to make sure that was all right. I really didn't think the swells would be that big," said Douglas Stiegelmaier, a Farmingville resident.
Residents were bracing for the worst Thursday, filling their grocery carts with staples. Bread and milk were the biggest sellers at area grocery stores. The American Red Cross is getting out word that now is a great time to put together a survival bag of essentials, such as a radio, flashlight, batteries and more.
"The reality is that most Long Islanders are going to have to shelter at home," said Samuel Killie of the American Red Cross.
"Though Danny has weakened a bit, it can still turn it up a notch. But the question remains, just how much of a washout will the weekend be?" said CBS station WCBS-TV meteorologist John Elliott.
