Hurricane Irene to hit east coast this Weekend
Here it comes! Hurricane Irene is the first hurricane in a few years to threaten the US. It is likely to become a category 4 hurricane and make landfall on the east coat of the US over the weekend.
Officials could begin issuing watches for parts of the U.S. mainland later in the day. Because the storm is so large, Florida could begin feeling some effects from the storm late Wednesday.
Current government models have the storm's outer bands sweeping Florida late this week before it takes aim at the Carolinas this weekend, though forecasters caution that predictions made days in advance can be off by hundreds of miles. Georgia is also likely to be affected.
