We've been keeping a close eye on Hurricane Irene all week. Most of the prediction models had her making landfall east of Raleigh, on the Outer Banks, but every now and again a model would show her rolling right over central NC and I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed not to see more of her. Not that I want a Category 3 hurricane tippy-tapping on my window, but there was (in the back of my mind) a tinge of excitement at the prospect of witnessing something so scary and different. Especially after experiencing my first earthquake on Tuesday. What a week! As of now, Irene is roughly 250 miles from here, off the coast of NC, but we are seeing some bands of rain starting already. The sky is grey and black and looks ominous. We should be in for a soggy tomorrow, but hopefully a safe one. :)
