Hurricane Season starts June/July, depending on who you ask, and ends in Oct/November --- that's approximately 5-6 months of every year, not to mention the occasional storm that appears late or early, as T/S Beryl is doing here.
Fortunately Beryl looks to be maxing out as a Tropical Storm when it makes landfall, but sub-hurricane 70 mph winds are just that, so I hope everyone watches this one closely and doesn't throw caution to the wind.

T/S Ophelia
Ophelia, you're breaking my heart ... (to the tune of Simon & Garfunkel's song) ... my "confidence daily" says you shouldn't be much to worry about, though Saturday going into Sunday 9/24-9/25 will probably be windy in the USVI, gusting to the mid-50's based on current projections. 'Not looking a whole lot different than the track for T/S Maria did two weeks ago (post below).

Sleepless on the East Coast
A weakened Category 1 Irene may be some good news for everyone bracing themselves, watching and waiting, from the Carolinas thru New York and the northeast States.
Mike Prangley's weather blog also describes a slight storm track shift to the east --- also good news.
