Come on, Irene!

So Irene is looking to pummel the most populated area of the US... the Northeast...  This is bad news for those on Long Island.  I have already seen where they are encouraging those to leave Long Island now who can, because traffic is going to get insane!

Irene is now a Cat 3 hurricane and is forecasted to become a Cat 4 storm before brushing the NC coastline.  By the time it tangles with the NE coastline, she'll be a strong Cat 1 and possible even a Cat 2.

She is classic looking right now...  Looking very much like a buzz saw.  The eye is well defined.  She's a beauty, but this is bad news.
