2 weeks ago I showed some models and maps from weeks before Irene hit. Check out the article HERE.
Now lets go over a few models, maps, pics, and videos from when she hit:
* A large system spanning about 500 miles across.
* Irene was the ninth named storm, the first hurricane, and the first major hurricane of the 2011 season.
* She made landfall in St. Croix, then Puerto Rico, then outer N.C banks, and finally Egg Harbor NJ before hitting NYC as a Tropical Storm and then became extratropical over VT/NH.
* Irene was the 5th costliest hurricane in United States history with $15.6 billion in damages
* Max strength was a Cat 3
