[0:51] Good evening. Hurricane Irene is moving
[0:53] in and people along the East Coast are
[0:56] moving out. The first watches and
[0:58] warnings went up today for what could be
[1:00] the most powerful hurricane to hit the
[1:02] East Coast in 7 years. Irene roared
[1:06] across the Bahamas today, a Category 3
[1:09] with winds of 115 miles an hour. The
[1:12] capital, Nassau, was largely spared, but
[1:14] major damage is reported in other parts
[1:17] of the island chain. At last report,
[1:19] Irene was about 600 miles south of Cape
[1:23] Hatteras, North Carolina, moving toward
[1:25] the north-northwest at 14 miles an hour.
[1:28] Hurricane watches and warnings are up
[1:30] from North Carolina to New Jersey with
[1:33] landfall expected in North Carolina on
[1:35] Saturday. We have a team of
[1:37] correspondents posted throughout the
[1:39] hurricane zone. First, CBS News

[1:49] Well, no change at all today, Scott.
