U.S. President Barack Obama speaks about Hurricane Irene while vacationing at Blue Heron Farm Friday (August 26) in Chilmark, Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. Obama said during the address that Irene has all the makings of a historic storm.

You need to listen to your state and local officials, and if you are given an evacuation order, please follow it. Just to underscore this point: We ordered an aircraft carrier group out to sea to avoid this storm yesterday. So if you’re in the way of this hurricane, you should be preparing now.”
