Hurricane Irene-North Carolina 8/26/11 Part I

I just don't think there will be enough coverage of Hurricane Irene this weekend, so I thought I would blog through it. If the power goes out, you won't be seeing any more updates...just sayin'...

Looks scary on the radar (pic courtesy of Wral.com). Let's go over the particulars now:
4:03 pm 8/26/11 **It's windy in Raleigh, NC. VERY windy at the coast. Waves are HUGE at the coast. Evacuations are becoming mandatory. Idiots are staying behind thinking they can 'ride it out'. Check back later for more informative updates!
