The good news is the NHC is now showing Irene as between a Cat 1 & Cat 2 at landfall. Discussion indicate that the core is eroding and she is weakened somewhat. I'd be surprised to see hurricane forces sustained winds report onshore, however lots of gusts to hurricane force are very possible. There are several buoys ahead of the storm that should give a good indication of wind speeds. M41013 will be 40 miles east of Irene's core around 2AM. Next up is #41037 which is just 27 miles off the Wrightsville Beach NC.
