MIAMI — Hurricane-preparedness is now all about watching the cone. And on
Tuesday, Hurricane Irene’s tracking cone curved just far enough away from
the Florida peninsula to cause emergency officials up and down the state to
breathe a cautious sigh of relief.

Chris Jaeger, a landscaping manager, prepared for the hurricane by filling
his truck and 10 five-gallon gas containers in Garden City, S.C., on Tuesday.
“We are out of the cone at the moment, though we have seen it wobble in the
past,” said Peter Elwell, the town manager in Palm Beach, Fla., referring
to the constantly evolving cone on forecast maps that designates a hurricane
’s probable path. “The cone moving away from us is a mixed bag: you know
the bullet you are dodging is going to hit somebody else.”
The mouth of the dangerous storm’s cone took dead aim on Tuesday at North
Carolina, where officials scrambled to get ready. But federal and state
authorities warned residents in other places not to be complacent; they said
the hurricane would probably affect nearly every state along the East Coast.
Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center here said they were becoming
increasingly confident that Hurricane Irene, a Category 1 storm on the
Saffir-Simpson wind scale late Tuesday with sustained winds of 90 miles per
hour, would gradually increase in strength over the warm Gulf Stream waters.
The Bahamas will bear the brunt of the storm over the next several days
before it is expected to veer on a more northward path toward the Carolinas,
forecasters said.
The huge hurricane would most likely make landfall in North Carolina by the
weekend, they said.
“There is still a lot of uncertainty,” said Jorge Aguirre, a 17-year
veteran meteorologist at the National Hurricane Center. “These things are
often unpredictable. I would not say Florida is completely off the hook just
yet. It’s going to be a very close call.”
Hurricane Irene, the first major storm of the Atlantic hurricane season,
could threaten “the entire East Coast,” W. Craig Fugate, head of the
Federal Emergency Management Agency, said Tuesday in a conference call with
reporters.
The storm was nudged away from its 10-m.p.h. path toward Florida by weakness
in a high pressure system parked over the southeastern United States,
forecasters said. If that system changes, the hurricane could still graze
Florida’s coastline, they said.
The last significant hurricane to strike Florida was the ferocious and
highly destructive Wilma, in 2005.
Up and down the Eastern Seaboard on Tuesday, mayors, police chiefs and
emergency preparedness personnel took no chances because the path of the
hurricane could suddenly change. They made plans for the worst while hoping
for the best.
“This is a dance we’ve done many times,” said Roy Rutland, a spokesman
for the Miami-Dade Police Department. “If there is a police department
prepared for hurricanes, it’s Miami-Dade. Even if this is just a tropical
storm in our area, we have contingency plans in place to deal with it.”
No hurricane has made landfall in the United States since Hurricane Ike
barreled into Texas in 2008. On the social media networks like Facebook and
Twitter, there was great interest in tracking Hurricane Irene’s every
gyration, at least until an odd 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck Mineral, Va.
, at 1:49 p.m. Tuesday, and was felt as far away as Toronto and Georgia.
Several officials said they were concerned about an unusual “double-whammy
” hitting the Middle Atlantic States: an earthquake followed by a hurricane.
“Two in one week? Unlucky,” said Joseph P. Riley Jr., the mayor of
Charleston, S.C., for 35 years. “If we have a Category 3 storm moving in
our direction, it’s smart to take every precaution, even if the cone says
it may not. We don’t look at it begrudgingly or as another headache. We see
it as an opportunity. We know our citizens might need our help, and we want
to do the best job possible.”
The National Hurricane Center’s tracking cone is based on a 250-mile range
of error in forecasts of the direction of hurricanes over the last five
years.
“There is something psychological about the cone,” said Bryan Koon, the
director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management. “Once people are
out of the cone, they tend to back off on their preparations. But it’s
always better to be prepared.”
