Hurricane Irene blows through Caribb
MIAMI (API — Hurricane Irene
moved across the Caribbean yester
day, sweeping bands of heavy rain
through Cuba and into Florida as it
drifted with top sustained winds of
nearly 75 mph.
At 8 a.m. EDT yesterday, Irene
was centered about 125 miles south
west of the Cuban capital of Havana.
It was expected to make a slow
northward track.
In Cuba, the hurricane warning
covered the Pinar del Rio, Havana,
Matanzas and the Isle of Youth.
In Florida, a hurricane watch was
issued for the Lower and Middle
Keys, including the Dry Tortugas is
lands, extending up to Craig Key.
Heavy rain already fell in the Mi
ami area, causing a rash of traffic
accidents during the morning’s
commute.
Irene could make landfall within
72 hours just north of Tampa, John
Guiney, hurricane forecaster at the
National Hurricane Center in Miami,
said.
“But we don’t want people fo
cusing on that track because this
storm will have effects felt in a wide
area,” he said.
“We still need all the folks in
Florida to still be vigilant here, be
cause this system will affect a great
portion of the peninsula.”
Winds across south Florida were
expected to rise, and Florida's south
ern coastal areas could experience
winds of more than 39 mph.
A full evacuation of the Keys is
not anticipated, Billy Wagner, Mon
roe County Emergency Management
director said, but officials Wednes
day began asking visitors in the low
er Keys to leave just in case.
Several public storm shelters
were to open in the Keys for peo
ple with special needs, those liv
ing in mobile homes and others at
special risk.
A coastal flood watch was in ef
fect for Broward and Miami-Dade
counties.
To the south of Cuba, a tropical
