Maybe not. FSU has a very different forecast for hurricane force winds

NOAA achieves category five status for unsupportable alarmism.

[Update : NOAA has lowered their initial estimate of wind speed due to a “sharp discrepancy” between airplane and surface data. http://weather.herald.com/]
——————————————————————————————————-
NOAA claims the winds are 85 MPH, but none of the Weather Underground stations in the area report higher than 33 MPH winds. By definition, this is not a hurricane – and is just barely a tropical storm.

It seems very unlikely that there will be sustained hurricane force winds recorded at any of the weather stations along the North Carolina coast.
NOAA says that the wind speed is 90 MPH.

Obama declares emergency for New York in anticipation of Irene
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has declared an emergency for New York state in anticipation of Hurricane Irene, which has New York City in its sights as it storms up the Eastern Seaboard.
The declaration means that the Homeland Security Department and the Federal Emergency Management Agency can coordinate disaster relief efforts. It also means the state can receive federal aid to supplement state and local emergency and cleanup assistance.
The fifth law of climodumbnamics
What is the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is when the temperature rises because the sun’s heat and light is trapped in the earth’s atmosphere. This is like when heat is trapped in a car. On a very hot day, the car gets hotter when it is out in the parking lot. This is because the heat and light from the sun can get into the car, by going through the windows, but it can’t get back out. This is what the greenhouse effect does to the earth. The heat and light can get through the atmosphere, but it can’t get out. As a result, the temperature rises.
Soon, the Earth will turn into a boiling cesspool of carbonic acid.
