As Irene approaches, shoppers rush to hardware stores and discounters along the East Coast. Generators priced around 599 dollars, water and flashlights sell fast, with Ace Hardware in Elizabeth City and Nags Head selling out. Retailers report mixed impacts: some gain during back to school, others face broader market damage, while Walmart and others deploy disaster teams and predictive planning to stock essentials before and after the storm.
Hurricane Irene's danger lies in water not wind. Forecasters warn of 4 to 11 foot storm surges, 6 to 15 inches of rain, and life threatening floods as the slow, massive storm moves up the Northeast. Experts compare potential flooding to historic events while high tides and large size amplify the risk.
