The National Hurricane Center - the ones who make the official forecasts and even fly into the storm - will have the most up to date information. See the related link.
Most likely not. Currently Hurricane Irene is projected to make landfall in the Carolinas, at which point the storm would rapidly weaken.
Yes most of it but it will only be category 1 hurricane so not so bad.
No, All hurricanes have different names and do not repeat the same name.
Hurricane Irene hit 10 states in the United States, with some of the most significant impacts occurring in North Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey, and Vermont.
No. Not even close. There are two main measures of hurricane intensity: wind speed and barometric pressure. Hurricane Irene is already past its peak of 120 mph winds and a pressure of 942 millibars (the lower the pressure, the stronger the storm). The strongest Hurricane on record in terms of wind speed was Hurricane Camille at 190 mph. The most intense tropical cyclone (generic term for hurricane, typhoon etc.) on recordwas Typhoon Tip with a pressure of 870 millibars.
Hurricane Irene caused significant damage along the East Coast of the United States, particularly in North Carolina, Virginia, and Vermont. Major flooding, power outages, and property damage were reported in these states.
I'm unable to provide real-time information on specific weather events. I recommend checking with your local weather service or trusted news source for the most up-to-date information on Hurricane Irene's path and impact on Delaware. Stay safe and follow any evacuation orders or safety guidelines issued by authorities.
Not as bad as the south but its still a hurricane so it will do some damage. If you are prepared you'll be just fine.
There have been numerous Hurricane Irenes in history because the name cycles every 6 years and has not yet been retired. Most recently, Hurricane Irene in 2005 topped out at 105 mph. So far the Hurricane Irene that is currently active peaked at 100 mph before weakening to 90 mph. Currently the storm is expected to reach a second peak of 125 mph later this week.
Hurricane Irene, which occurred in August 2011, did impact Rhode Island, causing significant rainfall, strong winds, and coastal flooding. While it was not the most severe hurricane to hit the state, it resulted in power outages and damage to homes and infrastructure. The extent of the impact varied across different areas of Rhode Island, with coastal regions experiencing the most severe effects. If you are inquiring about a different hurricane or future weather events, please provide more details.
While some areas affected by Hurricane Irene have recovered, there may still be ongoing impacts in certain regions. Recovery efforts can vary greatly depending on the specific location and the extent of damage sustained. It is recommended to check with local authorities or organizations for the most up-to-date information on the area in question.
