Hurricane Irene's strong winds and heavy rains hit the eastern U.S. coast early Saturday, losing some strength but still on target to affect tens of millions of people with flooding and power outages.

Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center downgraded Irene to the weakest category for hurricanes with winds at 150 kilometers per hour in the early morning hours Saturday. But they still cautioned that the storm would remain a hurricane as it moves into the heavily populated corridor around Washington.
