Not sure how many folks we have in the coastal mid- Atlantic states, but please do keep an eye out for Irene. Looks like she will start making landfall on Friday around mid South Carolina. Currently it will still be a Cat. 3 when it hits the Outer Banks, NC and move on up the coast.

Bonnie was the last Cat 3, I think, to hit our coast and before that Fran. Both of them packed a whallop. We got pretty heavy damage from Isabelle just a few years ago and even when Gaston was declared a tropical depression it flooded the historic Shockoe Bottom area of Richmond.

Here is one link to track this hurricane:

Here is a good link for hurricane preparedness, including a pet plan!:

Good luck everyone!
