Forecasters Decide Which Of Two Possible Paths Cat 4 Hurricane Sam Will Likely Take
When Hurricane Sam strengthened to major Category 4 status as it churned in the Atlantic basin last week, forecasters outlined two possible paths for the monster storm.

Now, it looks very likely that Sam will follow the latter path. And make no mistake. That's a good thing. That's because it should stay well out to sea. Big waves along the Atlantic Coast should be the main impact from the storm. As of Wednesday morning, Sept. 29, the …
