 Should the southeastern U.S. be worried? John Cangliosi is with the National Hurricane Center in Miami. At this point, there's really no concern for the continental United States. There is a pretty good ridge that will prevent it from taking a sharp northward turn, but no one's really off the hook farther down the line beyond the six, seven-day time frame. The only thing we're advising residents at this point is just keep your eyes on barrel. There's no action required more than to monitor it.
