I see eBird is featuring the effect of the hurricane on birding. A page http://birdcast.info/forecast/special-alert-upper-midwest-and-northeast-tropical-storm-joaquin/ will be updated. The aftercasting will be a lot more informative than the forecasting. As usual, there seems to be little chance that exciting species will be blown to Ohio. Besides, you have to be a special kind of crazy to look for birds in a big blow...
