Hurricane Irene

Over a million people in North Carolina and Virginia are currently without power after Hurricane Irene came ashore on Saturday, and other states further north are bracing for impact on Sunday.

Hurricane Irene is on her way and preliminary reports suggests she’ll be a big one. To get an idea of just how big though, check out this aerial video of Irene filmed from the International Space Station as it passed over the Eastern seaboard.

Hurricane Irene is churning towards the U.S. East Coast and it has many major cities in its cross-hairs, including the Boston area where Kenny Chesney has decided to move up his concert scheduled for Sunday at Gillette Stadium (Home of the New England Patriots), to this Friday night in an effort to avoid the storm.
