The next image shows the latest computer model tracks for Irene from this morning model runs.\u00a0 Now, these are computer runs and projections.\u00a0 Think of this map below as to where the center of Hurricane Irene may go.\u00a0 One thing to keep in mind is that Irene will be\u00a0a large and dangerous hurricane, so her affects could be felt hundreds of miles away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
