Hurricane Irene made landfall at Cape Lookout on August 27, 2011. With hurricane force winds extending ninety miles out and tropical storm winds extending 290 miles, the storm moved slowly northward at fifteen miles an hour, creating a wide path of destruction. Gery recounts how the storm affected electric cooperatives in the eastern part of the state.
