It's not every day you see a hurricane forecast cone pointed into the Northeast.
In fact, the concern among meteorologists is high. National Hurricane Center Director Bill Read: "We are very concerned with what's going to happen in New England. The benchmark is the 1938 hurricane. I am very concerned with what will happen there."
The potential is real for the strongest hurricane hit on the Northeast in at least a couple decades this weekend.
