The mother storm Irene barrels up the northeast, right after a 5.9 earthquake. I’ll be covering the story live at the jersey shore with pictures, videos and updates.

Chris Christie asked all visitors to New Jersey’s shore to get out by midday Friday with Hurricane Irene poised to be a “serious, significant event,” with flooding a threat across the entire state when the storm arrives this weekend.     (Couldn’t be more accurate)
