At approximately 5 am on Monday, Irene was about 105 miles (170 km) north north north of the Greater Turkik and about 915 miles (1470 km) southeast of Kaib Hatiraras, North Carolina. The storm was moving northwest at a speed of 13 miles per hour (20 km per hour).

The Bahamas government issued an hour of tropical storm for the Central Bahamas, while it remained a warning from the tropical storm valid for the islands of the Turks, Kikos and southeast of the Bahamas, according to the Hurricane Center.

An additional strengthening for Monday was expected to be a gradual weakness, but Irene was expected to remain a major hurricane in the middle of the week.

The winds of Hurricane extended up to 60 miles (95 km) from the center and the tropical winds that extend abroad to 230 miles (370 km). The strong wind area is expected to grow more during the next few days. With this size, Irene will affect coastal areas although it is not expected to make direct land.

Dari County, North Carolina, announced the state of emergency and ordered the evacuation starting from Monday to the island of Hatiraras on the external banks, a high extension of the low barrier islands that flow away in the Atlantic Ocean. The National Weather Service said that several days of heavy surfing, strong winds and waves can wash parts of NC Highway 12 along the barrier.

Eren, the first hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean, reached a very serious 5 -day state on Saturday with 160 miles per hour (260 km) of wind before weakness.

“You are dealing with a big hurricane. Intensity fluctuates. It is a dangerous hurricane in any case,” said Richard Bash of the National Hurricane Center.

Irene’s external gangs have launched parts of Portorico and Virgin Islands with heavy rains and tropical winds during Sunday.

This led to the extraction of energy to about 147,000 customers, according to Luma Energy, a private company that oversees the transfer and distribution of energy on the island. More than 20 flights were canceled due to the weather. The Coast Guard allowed all ports in Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands to reopen on Sunday with a decrease in wind and rain.

The harsh ocean conditions are expected for parts of the Virgin, Puerto Rico, Mnabaniola, Turks and Cikos Islands. The currents that threaten his life and photograph the torn currents were expected in the middle of the week of the Bahamas, Bramuda, the eastern American coast, and the Atlantic Coast in Canada while Irene turns to the north and then the northeast of the country.

Scientists have linked the rapid condensation of hurricanes in the Atlantic Climate Ocean. Global warming causes the weather to keep more water vapor and swing in ocean temperatures, and the warmer water gives hurricane fuel to launch more rain and boosts more quickly.
