size as hurricane katrina although at this point less powerful. president obama is also keeping a close eye on the storm. he plans to return to washington from his vacation tomorrow ahead of the approach of irene. the president has also declared a state of emergency for north carolina, where irene is expected to come onshore tomorrow. the north carolina coast may look more like a ghost town when the storm does arrive. 150,000 visitors haveeen ordered off the residence. irene could pound the state with 115-mile-per-hour winds and a storm surge of five to ten feet. 5:01 right now. virginia beach, norfolk, ocean city, up into delaware all these mandatory evacuation orders going out right now. this storm is nothing to sneeze at. and locally, more importantly, for many of the residents who live right around washington, the big story is going to be power outages from this storm and maybe toppling trees because the ground is saturated. we may have winds that will be gusting
