Thanks Tim!

The rain has started. Still light winds.

Looks like Irene has made landfall in NC so we should know in a few hours what is in store for us late today and tomorrow morning.

Storm track is still the same, just offshore for DelMarVa. Looks like the winds will be in the Cat 1 range, which is huge, Rain at the rate of 1 - 2" per hour for the next 20hrs or so.

Been raining here for about an hour now and the eye is still 400 miles to the south of us.

Morning Phil, should be there within the hour.

Looks like the winds maybe less than what was originally expected.
