Category 3 Hurricane Irene Will Threaten America's East and Northeast Coastal Areas

The latest National Hurricane Center (NHC) advisory is out- and the forecast still shows a possibility of landfall by Hurricane Irene to either/and the North Carolina coast and somewhere north of Long Island NY..

Irene could intensify to Category 4- but should lose some punch as it enters colder waters further north.

Still- Hurricane Irene is and will be a dangerous storm and all precautions should be taken.
