The Latest Track of Hurricane Irene and Emergency Shelters Available in Carteret County, North Carolina
When I awoke this morning, I headed for the coffee pot, then to the remote control. I had to see what the latest news was on Hurricane Irene. The bad news is that she is still out there and she is still going strong. We are looking at a Cat 3 storm hitting out beautiful Crystal Coast. The good news (if you can call it that) is that she has shifted about 30-35 miles east, which means we hopefully will not take a direct hit. We can still expect 100 mile per hour winds, severe storm surge and more than enough rain to take us out of the current drought! They are expecting wide-spread flooding, power outages, and uprooted trees! 
In about four hours, we will load the cats, the dog, enough clothes for a week, our laptops, our kid, and ourselves into the SUV to head west. Taking no chances here in the Hahn Household. They are saying that this will be the worst storm we have seen in almost 60 years.... and we see a lot of storms.
