As killer storm Hurricane Irene sets her sights on Massachusetts today, packing powerful winds, massive storm surges and drenching rain, the governor issued a clear but simple warning — stay home.

“It is unsafe for people to be outside,” Gov. Deval Patrick said. “Stay indoors and off the roads.”

Reflecting the urgency of that statement, the MBTA announced late yesterday that all bus and train service will be suspended today, and that the T’s RIDE operation would make only trips deemed medically necessary. Massport spokesman Phil Orlandella said last night that he expects no flight traffic in our out of Logan International Airport today.

“Zero. Big zero,” Orlandella said. “The airlines are trying to reramp up for Monday.”

In the first areas to feel the hurricane’s punch, though, there was minor flooding and major relief.

“It’s not nearly as bad as it could have been,” said Bobby Outten, manager of Dare County, which includes Roanoke Island and much of the Outer Banks, a vulnerable stretch of Carolina coast.

Nearby Nags Head, a fragile barrier island, escaped with no serious damage. “We were lucky,” said Mayor Bob Oakes.
