Update on the Earthquake in the East Coast
Office buildings, schools and towering landmarks are being inspected today for hidden structural flaws a day after initial checks turned up little damage from a rare East Coast Earthquake. Federal officials say two nuclear reactors at the North Anna Power Station were automatically taken offline by safety systems around the time of the earthquake. The East Cost is once again been threatened with a very dangerous storm also known as Hurricane Irene.
Hurricane Irene has been upgraded to Category 3 and getting closer to reach the East Coast
Hurricane Irene has become a major Category 3 hurricane, packing winds of 115 mph as it makes its way to the East Coast, where evacuations began early today on an island off North Carolina.
Irene has grown more powerful since Tuesday evening, moving from Category 1 to Category 3 in under 12 hours. Evacuations are on the way in North Carolina. Tourists are told to evacuate Wednesday. Island residents are told to get out on Thursday morning.
Federal officials have warned Irene could cause flooding, power outages or worse all along the East Coast as far north as Maine, even if it stays offshore. The projected path has gradually shifted to the east, though Irene is still expected to make landfall as a major hurricane in North Carolina sometime over the weekend. It is then expected to continue trudging northward. All area including New England and as far as the Northeast need to be prepare; destruction, lost of power
The storm was likely to strengthen into a Category 4 hurricane by the time it makes landfall in the U.S. this weekend. Irene could crawl up the coast Sunday toward the Northeast region, where residents aren’t accustomed to such storms.

If you are evacuating out of the area, make sure you have a way to communicate with your family.
