More information on Hurricane Irene
Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina (CNN) -- Hurricane Irene neared coastal North Carolina late Friday and had metropolitan New York in its sights, staying on an unusual track that could bring deadly storm surge, heavy rainfall and misery to millions.
With winds near 100 mph, Irene churned toward an anticipated 7 to 8 a.m. landfall between Beaufort and Atlantic Beach, North Carolina, where a curfew was in effect.
But the massive storm -- which is shutting down hundreds of airline flights, Broadway shows and the New York subway system -- won't be content to curve away from the mainland after striking North Carolina.
Instead, a slowly weakening Irene will head for the Jersey shore, New York and southern New England, dangerous conditions in tow, forecasters said.
"We're going to see tropical storm-force winds for as much as 24 hours in some places and, in North Carolina, near and to the east of the center, they could experience hurricane force winds for as much as 10 hours," Ed Rappaport of the National Hurricane Center told CNN.

Irene roiled the surf and blew strong gusts of rain into the Carolinas as it neared landfall.
Ernie Seneca, a North Carolina spokesman, said authorities were concerned about the "entire eastern half of the state. This hurricane could potentially impact an area that includes 20 counties and 3.5 million people."
Irene was about 235 miles south-southwest of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, at 8 p.m. ET Friday, according to the hurricane center.
Hurricane warnings were in effect from Little River Inlet, North Carolina, to Cape Cod, Massachusetts. A hurricane warning means sustained winds of 74 mph or higher are expected within 36 hours.
President Barack Obama warned that Irene could be a "hurricane of historic proportions."
The Category 2 storm had top sustained winds of 100 mph, and it is expected to be borderline Category 1, with maximum winds of 95 mph, when it comes ashore Saturday and moves toward the Mid-Atlantic states, according to forecasters. Earlier Friday, winds were at 110 mph.
"This could still be a large and powerful storm," North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue said. Evacuations were ongoing in 19 counties.
An ocean surge of up to 11 feet is possible in coastal North Carolina, tearing away beaches and probably damaging homes, businesses and other structures before sliding up the East Coast to New England, Hurricane Center Director Bill Read said.
Storm surges of 4 feet to 8 feet are possible in the Virginia Tidewater region, with 3- to 6-foot surges farther north along the New Jersey shore, Read said.
Other areas were under tropical storm warnings or watches. A tropical storm warning indicates that sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph are expected within 36 hours. A watch means such winds are possible.
