8/26/2011 Hurricane Irene Early Afternoon Update

I apologize for the lack of updates today, been running around trying to get everything ready! Really though, no changes to anything. It does appear that the brunt of the storm happens overnight tomorrow until Sunday midday. It is probably a safe bet to expect at least 6" of rain through the storm. Winds will probably range from 40-60mph. Obviously, higher winds will be along the shore. Still appears we will be on the western side of the hurricane. Anyone reading who may be on the east side, your chances for tornadoes increases on that side, but can pop up anywhere.

Hopefully everyone has gotten their preparations in order!

Here is the 2pm NHC 5 day track:
