Hurricane Irene

Watching all the coverage. It sounds like there has been one fatality so far in North Carolina.

ETA: http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/08/27/tro...html?hpt=hp_t1 This link mentions that a man had a heart attack while boarding up his house, but I thought I had heard a man was hit by a branch?

ETAA: MSNBC just had a graphic at the bottom that said 2 dead and one missing. I'm assuming one is the link above, here's a link to the second: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44297053/ns/weather/.

There have been 3 fatalities.

One man died from a heart attack while boarding up his house, one man hit by a large tree limb, and one man's car hit a tree.

I've read that a surfer in Virginia Beach also died because of the storm surges there.
