Nice Day Here...All Eyes on Irene

While we're basking in another beautiful summer day in the Quad Cities the race is on to prepare for Hurricane Irene up and down the East Coast! 1st landfall (there likely will be more than 1) is looking like it should happen sometime Saturday along the Outer Banks (OBX) of North Carolina. If you've ever vacationed there you know it's a relatively quiet place with miles of great beaches and plenty of vacation houses to choose from. Unfortunately the islands are very susceptible to hurricanes and it's looking the Outer Banks could take a DIRECT hit!

After the storm passes through the OBX it will come back out over water and make another landfall somewhere between Delaware/New Jersey or as far North as New England. New York City could even be squarely in Irene's crosshairs! Needless to say, all eyes on Irene for the next several days! Here are the latest spaghetti plots for the storm...
