Irene dumps foot of rain; 2 million powerless | |

August 28, 2011 A weakened but still dangerous Hurricane Irene shut down New York and menaced other cities more accustomed to snowstorms than tropical storms as it steamed up the East Coast on Saturday, unloading a foot of rain on North Carolina and Virginia and knocking out power to nearly 1.9 million homes and businesses. At least six people were killed. Source: http://dailyherald.com/article/20110827/news/708279889/ |
