There's a high pressure system northwest of the track. If it weakens, Irene will head north and miss the coastal U.S. If it strengthens, North Carolina will take a hit. They were giving 50-50 odds late last night. It's expected to reach category 1 or 2 hurricane strength before it hits land.

You are quite brave to head that way during hurricane season. I am very worried about you going, so worried for your safety that I will be happy to go in your place!

We'be been going there at the end of August (and also during the kids' winter break) for a few years now. A couple of time we left just as a storm was anticipated to arrive, but (knock wood) we've had great times there even in August. It is less expensive in August (2+ weeks cost about the same as 7-10 days in February), and the water is just a degree below the point at which it wouldn't be refreshing
If the day comes when I get bored there, I'll send you an email and let you have my seat on the plane
