Re: Hurricane Irene Landfalls at Cape Lookout, NC

Cedar Island, NC is reporting 115mph wind gusts, the northeast side of the center of Irene seems to be where all the highest wind is at, and Ocracoke and that section of the outer banks seems to be getting it. Points west drastically less wind ,but surge is been driven up fairly high from the east there 6-8 feet.

Recon found pressure of 951, this is still a very powerful hurricane, but not in the classic high speed wind sense.
