Hurricane Irene, now a category 3 storm will probably touch the United States this weekend. But before it gets here Irene is leaving her mark on The Bahamas. At the 8pm update the eye of the storm had reported 120 mph and higher gusts moving at 12 mph. Get the full update on the hurricane after the jump. @ShottaDru
(Photos) Sir Richard Branson’s Private Island Home Destroyed By Fire
Wow, I’ve seen photos and video of this beautiful home so many times as it was one of the top private getaways for celebrities. Unfortunately, last night, the home was destroyed by a fire when the house was struck by lightning. Luckily, everyone is safe–including Kate Winslet who was on vacation at the home. Hurricane Irene is not messing around– I hope it stays out at sea!! Hit the jump to see more photos of the destruction. @ItsLukieBaby
