Irene - Into next weekend. What is your plan?

Much talk will be on Irene over the next week.  The models are being consistent with a track near the SC coast, then hugging the coastline from NC and possibly remaining offshore until it makes a landfall on Long Island and into New England possibly as a hurricane or very strong tropical storm. 

Noting - with a track like this, the worst part of the storm would be to the right of the likely track which would be storm surge and wind. 

This is still a week out forecast and much can change. As always stated one should never focus on the direct track this far out.

However it is a good time to think about what you may do if you live on the coast or are subject to coastal flooding.   Do you have beach plans or boating plans for next Sunday and Monday or do you need to get to Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard or P-town by ferry Monday morning.    Just plan ahead.
