23/08/11 -- Currently rated a category 2, Hurricane Irene is on course to make a category 3 storm (5 is highest) with 100mph winds as it passes north of Haiti.

North and South Carolina are likely to face the full force of Irene by this weekend, say some forecasters. Some models show she might even reach as far north as New York City.

For the trivia lovers amongst you names are already allocated for the remainder of the alphabet for the rest of the season:

Jose, Katia, Lee, Maria, Nate, Ophelia, Philippe, Rina, Sean, Tammy, Vince & Whitney.

Will Jose be "the special one" and will you need to "stand by you van" as Tammy passes by? As for Whitney I will always love her....I'll get my coat....
