Hurricane Irene

Hurricane Irene is expected to ramp up to a Cat 2-3 and hit my little island on Friday.

The plans are in place to head to a local shelter since I live right near the ocean on the southside of the island. I am from VA beach so this hurricane thing is old-hat. I am not terribly concerned because I have a plan... A nice cozy shelter, water and food provisions, and my school books to study by candle light (once the power goes out).

From my experience the predicted storm path and strength is never correct this early in the game. I bet the storm weakens or turns left or right. I will post pics if there is anything interesting that happens. In the mean time, back to studying!
