I can't get away from hurricanes (this goes to Jesika,Barbara and Liz too since they are going to college on the east coast). This one is possibly going to hit New Jersey. And everyone knows which state is next to New Jersey (in my case at least) PA!!
Here's the story:
Irene's potential threat to land was still uncertain, as its path had shifted east, according to forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami. Forecasters said the storm could strike the coast anywhere from South Carolina to New Jersey.
Irene's top sustained winds increased to about 60 mph, and forecasters said conditions appeared favorable for the storm to strengthen. Hurricanes sustain winds of at least 74 mph.
At 5 a.m. EDT, the storm's center was located about 325 miles south of Bermuda and about 795 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.
It was moving northwest near 15 mph, though it was expected to slow down, forecasters said.
Irene broke records Sunday when it became the earliest ninth named storm in the Atlantic hurricane season, which began June 1 and ends Nov. 30. Typically, there are only two named storms by this time in the season.
Irene weakened into a tropical depression Monday, but regained tropical storm strength Wednesday.
