Hurricane Joaquin is expected to landfall this weekend or early next week, making it the first hurricane in 15 months to hit the East Coast. The hurricane is classified as a category three storm and is currently in the central Bahamas with hurricane-force winds. The maximum winds expected this weekend are 125 mph and the hurricane could possibly move up to a category 4 when it reaches the East Coast. These predictions are still uncertain and there is still a chance that the hurricane might not hit the East Coast at all this weekend or early next week.
