Well, IMO, I don't know if this storm will miss the east coast. If Irene does reach C5, it will more than likely be a fish, unless it remains strong enough when it would near Canada, like Igor did last year. This storm is really on high alert across much of the east coast, but how strong it is when it hits will determine it's chance for destruction. Stay tuned to get the latest info.
