  • Hurricane Irene Updates and Preparedness

    The Weather Channel reports Hurricane Irene, the first hurricane of the 2011 Atlantic hurricane season, now has its sights set on the Bahamas and the U.S. East Coast. Irene is forecast to strengthen into a major hurricane by early Wednesday as it passes over the Bahamas.

    Storm Team 8 Tampa Bay reports that the more time passes, the less threat the rapidly strengthening Hurricane Irene appears to be to the Tampa Bay area. Irene grew into a Category 2 hurricane late Monday and the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said it might continue to increase in strength.
