Irene may become the first hurricane of the busy, but so far not destructive, 2011 Atlantic hurricane season. Irene, the ninth named storm of the 2011 Atlantic hurricane season, was expected to pass Puerto Rico's southern coast late Sunday and early Monday and then strengthen into a hurricane as it approached the Dominican Republic. Residents of Cuba, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the Bahamas and the southeastern United States were urged to monitor Irene's progress as the storm headed their way. An early northward turn would bring it near the Georgia-South Carolina coast late in the week. But a later turn could keep it over the warm Caribbean waters until it reached the Gulf of Mexico, which could make it a much more powerful hurricane.
It is our hope that this storm does not become stronger, but that it in fact allows these areas suffering from drought conditions, to get much needed rain.
