Breaking News: Hurricane Irene Update: 50 Million People Could Be Affected
August 26, 2011 Breaking News AlertHurricane Irene Update: 50 Million People Could Be AffectedParts of the southeastern United States were already experiencing dangerous swells and rip tides Thursday as Hurricane Irene exited the Bahamas. On Friday afternoon, ahead of Hurricane Irene's forecasted arrival in North Carolina tomorrow, high waves and storm surge were beginning to impact the state's Outer Banks, according to catastrophe modeling firm AIR Worldwide, which is tracking the storm and reported on its possible route and effects late Friday afternoon.Dr. Tim Doggett, principal scientist at AIR Worldwide, said that the current forecast indicates Irene will likely hit North Carolina's Outer Banks rather than bypassing them, and go on to make a second landfall on or near Long Island, New York. Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont are all in the vicinity of Irene's projected path, meaning the major cities of New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and Boston are projected to be affected by tropical storm conditions.

Secret ballots were mailed to the NAPAA's 1,200 NAPAA members and more than 94 percent voted in favor of affiliating with OPEIU, according to the association. The vote was administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and was counted at the AAA's New York office.
