I still think it's going to continue to swing out to sea and miss the Eastern Seaboard, but then again, my name isn't Jim Cantore. Considering this time yesterday, it was going to hug the Florida Gulf Coast and now it's going to miss the Florida Atlantic Coast, I think it's feasible that Irene keeps swinging East.
It has been steadily swinging Easterly. Original path was straight up the center of Florida. It has obviously swung several hundred miles East

You actually drove to a area with a hurricane? Genius.
Not such a big deal at the time.

I hope it keeps turning east. Spoke with a friend yesterday who thought most likely that was gonna happen. Gonna wait tomorrow to see if its a go or not, being stuck down there in the rain aint a great time

I'm suppose to go down Friday afternoon but not sure what I'm going to do. It looks like its going to be a big storm so I would only go if it was 100% chance it will not hit OBX. As far as rain most of the time after one passes the skys are nice and clear. There will be some great waves from this storm.

There is a reason why it's named that. Welcome to hurricane alley. I would steer clear of OBX this weekend. Just saying.

I have been in 4 major ones, I would NEVER knowingly/willingly go towards one. Nothing to fawk with and you be wasting emergency personal to have to come save your ass if you got in trouble.

Many times, they won't even allow people onto the islands (OBX) with a hurricane approaching. (unless you are a local perhaps) Class 2 is meh to us really. Even so, I sure as hell wouldn't be rolling up into OBX with any hurricane on the horizon.
