Hello All, It looks like Southern Florida and even the Carolinas are in for another episode of rampaging storms. If we remember correctly, Hurricane Floyd spared much of Florida, but here comes Irene. Irene is going go where Floyd missed. Almost two feet of rain has fallen and folks in the United States are going to feel it a lot worse than Cuba did. Cuba suffered one reported fatality from Irene, but she has claimed over five lives already in the US. The projected storm track has Irene heading across Southern Florida toward the East and will make it to the Atlantic Ocean. The storm is expected to pass east of Lake Okeechobee, the big lake in central Florida. As with all, storms, it is difficult to predict it's exact path but it is believed to track northward and give North Carolina a follow up to Floyd. The models predict 70mph winds by the time it reaches North Carolina. As with the Royal Ranger customs, let's be "Ready For Anything" and let us pray for the people that will be affected.
