Hurricane Earl is apparently coming to Massachusetts on Friday. Save yourselves!

The storm could produce winds close to 100 miles per hour. As a result, the Bay State is preparing already.

The National Weather Service has issued a hurricane watch for the Cape and Islands, eastern and southern Plymouth county, and southern Bristol county. A tropical storm watch was issued for eastern Essex County, Suffolk County, eastern Norfolk County, and interior Bristol and Plymouth Counties.

The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency has issued emergency tips to prepare for Earl. Tips include getting canned goods and nonperishable foods, cover windows with plywood, trim back trees, fill your gas tank, protect your important insurance documents, and have a family communication plan.
