Hurricane Irene


A huge hurricane, Irene, is moving up the East Coast, Category 1, but probably will be weakened to a tropical storm by the time it reaches New Hampshire tomorrow. It's very wide so many states will be affected. Right now it is leaving North Carolina and in Maryland. NYC has unprecedented evacuations due to possible storm surge in low lying areas.
We are provisioned up and worried most on our side about power outage and lots of flooding due to heavy rains that are forecast. Stay tune.
Here is a photo of calm before the storm.
