ohh ok well that would explain a lot, yea if Irene takes the patht that the NHC is predicting, she will be a little to close for comfort in NC, and then she looks to be heading north and a little to the west so maybe she'll make more than one landfall, hopefully not but we can only wait and see, a lot of the models show Irene's eye brushing the NC coast and then not surprisingly, NOGAPS the entire grid annot be shown because there is so much uncertainty about Irene, this are just my opinions what do other people think?
