From what I have seen all 3 will only remain in the Atlantic and not make any landfall in the US. We are getting some big waves due to the first one but nothing else.

Where are you located Cathy ?? Danielle looks to be wandering lost in the Atlantic ... Earl bears watching but looks more like an East Coast storm if it doesn't follow Danielle. Fiona is yet to form up, but we should know more in the next 12/18 hours. The Gulf Coast is watching, you can be sure ...
