User blog:Ryan1000/Irene approaches the eastern U.S.

Irene has temporarily weakened to a category 1 hurricane with winds of 90 mph, but it is forecast to strengthen again, possibly to a major hurricane and then towards the east coast. Irene has trouble all over her, and I think she's waiting for that cold front to pass and then she'll pounce onto New England or the Carolinas like lightning. This storm is going to be making headline news over the next few days, and it definitely bears watching. As with my last two blog posts, what does everyone else see out of this future (potentially disastorous) storm?
