Hurricane Irene go AWAY

First a Earthquake then a Hurricane, what is happening??
Earlier this week in NC we had a Earthquake, which is very rare for us now we are dealing with a Cat 3 Hurricane.
The last hurricane that I remember well was 1996 Hurricane Fran. This one came right across us but thankfully Irene isnt suppose to do that. After Fran we didnt have power for about a week. We now have 2 generators but we still will not have air condition which is what is the worse out of not having power. I hope it doesnt come to that.
I will be praying for our coastal residents and anyone else that will be affected by this HUGE hurricane.
