Eye on Irene: Watch Out for the First Atlantic Hurricane This Season
Although Hurricane Irene doesn't have an impressive structure (e.g., an eye) at the moment, this sizable storm is forecast to stregthen to a
Category 3 storm in a few days. Models of this system (as shown above) disagree on the future of this system, but the coast of North Carolina will likely experience effects, and it could be where Irene comes ashore.
Residents should think about their preparedness for potentially a Major (Cat 3+) hurricane.
