Hurricane Irene Passing By Miami Beach

You could feel the shift in weather yesterday as Hurricane Irene traveled closer to our shores. Last night the wind picked up and early this morning the rain showers started. I snapped this photo about 8 am this morning from my balcony.

Looks like it's headed toward the Carolinas and it could hit the NE pretty hard. Here's some of the latest news.

Here's a pretty cool photo snapped from the International Space Station of the storm taken by astronaut Ron Garan. (Via NASA)
