Accuweather noted that coincidentally today is the 40th anniversary of a tropical system that I never heard of (mostly because it never became a hurricane though a hurricane force gust occured at Blue Hills near Boston) landfalling on NJ and the boros itself (with almost the exact same path as Irene), Doria:
Tropical Storm Doria (1971) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
and speaking of Accuweather, interesting video by Bernie Rayno on why he thinks Irene will neither strengthen nor weaken on the way to NYC and CT. A side note is he says that 950mb is one of the lowest pressures for a Cat 1 storm ever:
