For an area that loves to talk about the weather as much as we do, Minnesota has a right to feel positively left out when it comes to Hurricane Bill this weekend. Imagine, with our experience at these things, how much hype we could bring to the occasion!

Massachusetts and Cape Cod are the primary targets of Hurricane Bill. If you're interested, here are Webcams along Cape Cod. We can pretend.

So far, the Weather Channel is all live hype from the Cape. The Webcams suggest normality at the moment.

Here are some other hurricane-tracking links:

I think Nova Scotia and Newfoundland would take umbrage to the assertion that Cape Cod is the 'primary target' of Bill, seeing as they are in line for a direct hit rather than a few peripheral thunderstorms:

Where the Cape is concerned, it's not wind and thunderstorms that are the problem, it's tides.
