Hurricane Irene heading toward Florida

Hurricane hit shore at Cape Hatteras on Aug. 27, 2011.  We were lucky as it passed by us.
I was at the Obesity Society Conference in Orlando when it passed by, it was sunny and warm at the World Marriott.

We left Nassau on Aug. 20th, only days before Hurricane Irene hit it hard.
Irene began bearing down on the Bahamas on Wednesday night, August 24th, bringing 115 mph winds to the area.
