Preparing for a big storm

American Red Cross volunteers are busily preparing for the possible arrival of Hurricane Irene, which could reach eastern North Carolina shores by Saturday morning. The Red Cross is also advising eastern North Carolina residents to get themselves, their families, their homes and vehicles, and their pets ready for strong winds and drenching rains. Watch this video for some expert advice on how to prepare for the storm that's coming:



Hurricane Irene's projected path has veered slightly eastward over the past 24 hours. If that eastward turn continues, it could dodge the North Carolina coast altogether. But hurricanes, despite all of our sophisticated forecasting, are unpredictable, so preparations continue for a possible landfall in North Carolina, and the Red Cross advises all eastern North Carolina residents to have a plan, have a kit and keep informed.
