GFS making landfall in New England

The GFS and ECMWF now both project for Irene to hit New England into this weekend as a hurricane. While the NHC projects it to be a Category 1 or 2 hurricane, I believe it may still be on the table that New England may get hit with a major hurricane (Category 3 or higher). Either way, If you are on the East Coast, review evacuation plans in the event you may have to evacuate.
