Here in the Research Triangle, we're on the western edges of the storm, contending with mostly winds and the occasional downpour. We have some power outages, maybe some creeks or ponds will break their banks, but for the most part, this will probably be just another day to hunker down and then we'll go back to living our normal lives tomorrow after the cloud bands have passed us by.
Further east, it is a different story. Making landfall near Cape Lookout, Irene is marching across the eastern third of the state, wreaking havoc on the Outer Banks, the sounds, and the small towns that dot the landscape.
Our Governor Bev Perdue summed it up best:
"We're preparing for the worst & praying for the best. That's what we do here in North Carolina."
