MIAMI -- Tropical Storm Irene is expected to intensify Friday, and forecasters said it could become a hurricane as it approaches the East Coast.
The National Hurricane Center said Irene's potential threat to land is still uncertain, as its path has shifted east. Forecasters said the storm could strike the coast anywhere from South Carolina to New Jersey.
Irene's top sustained winds increased to about 60 mph, and forecasters said conditions appeared favorable for the storm to strengthen.
At 5 a.m. EDT, the storm's center was located about 325 miles south of Bermuda and about 795 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C. It was moving northwest near 15 mph, though it was expected to slow down.
Normally, there are only two named storms by this time in the Atlantic hurricane season. Irene became the earliest ninth named storm in the season, which began June 1 and ends Nov. 30, when it developed Sunday.
I have a funny feling about this one! I think its going to hook more north!
Now this will kick the fishing in the pants!

Not I.The death and destruction brought on by them just isn't worth the "thrill".
Plus we have more than one house still in the framing stage.
STAY AWAY!!! |

I certainly wouldn't mind the surf from an offshore storm either! |
