Hurricane Irene Now Has a Twitter Account

Want to know what’s going on with Hurricane Irene? Follow her on Twitter. As the massive hurricane heads up the coast, its tweets have intensified. But don’t worry, Irene’s Twitter account status meekly declares, “I don’t want to hurt anyone.”

Besides giving us a witty travelogue of the hurricane’s visit to the North Carolina coast so far, @irene is helping people at the same time, re-tweeting messages from the NYC Mayor’s Office Twitter account and generally making herself useful.
