Quick note: It is important to note that the exact center of the tropical cyclone, particularly one that is this anomalously large, is less important than knowing where you are in proximity to the large scale circulation over all.
Also, I wouldn't expect Irene to suffer the same impact from an interaction with the mountainous terrain of Hispaniola as Emily; the circulatory mass field of this cyclone is quite a bit larger and much more convincingly vertically integrated. Though a direct impact would have a significant detriment on Irene, the cyclone would have much better chance of regeneration - in other words, points farther west should not put their guard down should that happen.
The latest 3 hours worth of radar coverage are pointing out some interesting observations: The cyclone appears to have slowed substantial; it is currently - probably temporarily - wobbling S of due west at a very slow rate of speed.
