First hurricane at all this season.
First serious hurricane threat of the season. Could be a Cat. 3 in the next couple of days.
First hurricane at all this season.
global warming, right?
This weather season has sucked.
Lol I bet Irene won't hit the US mainland. There is like some sort of aurora keeping much needed storms from occurring in drought ridden places.
man, .
Don't think we're gonna hit that hard, but I put shutters up today anyways
First time I've ever/will ever agree with mouse2moose. that hurricane for not coming to Texas.
Texas does not want a major hurricane. Big difference between that and a tropical storm.
How bad could a category 3 hurricane be?
Tbh I don't care about the folk on the Texas coast at this point.
In the Atlantic...yes.
Hope none of you have booked a trip to the Bahamas anytime soon. They're about to take a beating.
NHC is now saying Irene could be a Cat. 4 sometime Thursday evening. No one on the East Coast should be taking this storm lightly.
Great. A 6.0 earthquake and a possible Cat 4 hurricane or more all in one week.
Not sure she'll go cat 4, as the ocean temps are cooler near the coastline, but still, she could ride all the way up the coast.
This storm is geographically beasty.
Yeah...the most recent atmospheric data is leaning more towards a solid 3.
Current model runs are predicting she does just what you said, which could end up being a disaster. NC could be spared a direct hit, but if she winds up with large wind field riding all the way up the coast would cause substantially more damage than a direct hit in one area.

Officially Cat. 3 and should strengthen more today.
Some models are predicting cat 5 status off the NC coast. Apparently the gulf stream has a chance to help Irene intensify even further. The Euro model shows a 916 mb reading just off Chesapeake Bay.
It will depend on the shear. Forecasts are saying 5-20kts...if it stays at the high end of that it might hold her back. At the lower end she could push 5.
Regardless, the biggest concern now is the track. She is a rain maker, so even at strong Cat. 3 she could do serious damage if the eye stays closer to the coast. Due to already saturated soil in the southern NY/northern Pennsylvania area the flooding could be catastrophic. Lets hope she continues to curve outward.

I've always thought these types of images as mind boggling.snapped by an astronaut at the space station
Whoa! Tracked to hit the NYC, Philly, D.C. area! Just saw that right now. Aside from the obvious concern of an impact to a densely populated area, it would be something to see.
lol new york
