Hurricane Irene on path toward NYC and LI; watch issued for North Carolina

First an earthquake -- now a hurricane!

Hurricane Irene is barreling toward the New York area, and will likely wallop the city and Long Island with winds of up to 50 mph and 4 to 8 inches of rain this weekend.

Weather watchers nudged her track a bit farther east yesterday afternoon, predicting that Irene's eye -- the center of the storm -- will pass over Montauk, bringing winds between 90 and 110 mph.

Mayor Bloomberg, in a briefing with reporters this morning, said people living in the city�s so-called �Zone-A� would need to evacuate ahead of the storm.

That zone includes neighborhoods along the coast, including Battery Park City in lower Manhattan, Coney Island in Brooklyn and Far Rockaway in Queens. The Office of Emergency Management said residents in Zone A face the highest risk of flooding from a hurricane's storm surge. Zone A includes all low-lying coastal areas and other areas that could experience storm surge from ANY hurricane making landfall close to New York City.

For those who do not have relatives who are so accommodating, Bloomberg said the city will have set up shelters for the 270,000 people who may be affected.

"The areas [affected by the storm] are, in the context of the city, relatively small," he said.

Bloomberg said the evacuation is voluntary, and only if the storm worsens, would he issue an executive order forcing people to flee.

When asked of those people who insisted to stay were the storm to worsen, Bloomberg said, They could die!"

The last hurricane to slam the New York-area was in 1985 when Hurricane Gloria struck. During that storm, New York only got three inches of rain, although many people were left without power.

Irene could hit North Carolina�s Outer Banks by Saturday afternoonHurricane Irene on path toward NYC and LI; watch issued for North Carolina with winds around 115 mph.

The storm is then predicted to chug up the East Coast, dumping rain from Virginia to New York City before a much-weakened form reaches land in Connecticut. Finally, it should peter out in Maine by Monday afternoon.

A hurricane watch was put in place on Thursday for the North Carolina coast -- covering the coastline north of Surf City to the state's border with Virginia -- as Irene bore down on the US.

In its latest update, issued at 8 a.m., the National Hurricane Center said that the hurricane was continuing to pound the northwestern Bahamas with winds of 115 mph and was moving north-west at a speed of about 13 mph.

Yup...I already put some of the lawn furniture in the garage. Now I am praying my new pool deck don't get wiped out this time as I rebuilt my pool and pool deck after a tree fell on it last year after lightning struck it
