Residents in east coast US states should be very concerned. Even neighbors of the cellar should be taking precautions. Irene has taken a more western path. Got into warmer water. The new projection puts it atop the entire Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey coasts. That would mean less storm power to harm NYC. And destructive winds even in Pennsylvania.
East coast Americans should have their preparations completely by Friday night (NC) or Saturday (NJ) in part because a new projection says this storm will also move much slower; do more damage. This one should not be taken lightly. I don't think I have seen a more threatening storm on the so unprepared parts of the east coast in 30 years. NJ and NYC are very vulnerable due to complacency. NJ has not had a hurricane in over 100 years.
These things usually move east at the last moment. But informed residents learn you must prepare for seven to not be harmed by the eigth.
