DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, Santo Domingo: Hurricane Irene churned towards the Dominican Republic Tuesday, after forcing Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet and Richard Branson's relatives to flee the British tycoon's Caribbean island home. Irene, now forecast to strengthen in coming days, is forecast to follow a track that could take it toward the US coast near the states of Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina later in the week. Raw images from Dominican Republic show local residents preparing for the arrival of Irene.
