Hurricane Floyd threatens Flor
MIAMI (AP) — More than 1 million people
were told to evacuate the Atlantic coast yester
day and NASA all but abandoned Cape
Canaveral as Hurricane Floyd — one of the most
powerful storms ever to threaten the United
States — charged toward Florida with poten
tially catastrophic 155 mph winds.
Floyd was much larger than Hurricane An
drew, which smashed into South Florida in
1992, causing $25 billion in damage, killing 26
people and leaving 160,000 homeless.
Forecasters said Floyd would brush past the
Bahamas overnight and could hit land in the
next couple of days between central Florida and
South Carolina. They predicted it was capable
of causing enormous damage.
“It’s scary. It’s very scary,” Gov. Jeb Bush
said. “Andrew hit Miami in tiie middle of the
night and it was haunting. This is as strong and
... three times bigger.”
Bush declared a state of emergency yester
day, giving him the authority to activate the Na
tional Guard and allowing the state to order
evacuations and suspend tolls on the highways.
The storm could be dangerous even if it does
not come ashore. Floyd's hurricane-force winds
— at least 74 mph — extended for 125 miles.
Andrew’s hurricane-force winds extended
about 25 or 30 miles.
With a hurricane warning in effect yesterday
from Florida City, south of Miami, to
Brunswick, Ga., residents along 400 miles of
coastline packed stores to stock up on canned
food, bottled water, plywood and aluminum
shutters. Navy ships left port to ride out the
storm at sea, and aircraft were sent inland.
“This is as strong [as
Andrew] and...
three times bigger."
-JEB BUSH
GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA
Officials said 1 million people were urged to
evacuate in Florida, including 272,000 in Mia-
mi-Dade County alone.
Georgia was under a hurricane watch trom
Brunswick to Savannah, a 70-mile span, and
forecasters said that likely would be extended
into South Carolina last night. Coastal residents
in the Brunswick and Savannah areas were
urged to evacuate. %
“This is probably the most serious threat
we’ve had to the Georgia coast this century,
said Gary McConnell, director of the Georgia
Emergency Management Agency.
At Kennedy Space Center, which is just 9 feet
above sea level, almost all of the 12.500 work
ers were leaving. A skeleton crew remained be
hind, but they, too, will evacuate if the wind is
as fierce as predicted. That wo.

Judge refuses to grant
new trial for Nichols
DENVER (AP) — A federal
judge refused to grant Terry
Nichols a new trial in the Okla
homa bombing yesterday, rejecting
arguments that Nichols was un
fairly denied the opportunity to fol
low up leads developed by the FBI.
“There are reasonable limits
to the search for possible leads
to evidence and the defense re
quests exceeded those limits,”
U.S. District Judge Richard
Matsch said. He said the de
fense “failed to show prejudice
from the failure of the govern
ment to produce these lead
sheets before trial.”
A spokesperson at defense
attorney Michael Tigar’s law
firm said the attorney was un
available for comment.
Tigar told Matsch at a July
hearing that the government
has refused to turn over about
43,000 documents to the de
fense that he believed could
contain enough information to
justify a new trial for Nichols.
Prosecutors countered that
they turned over 12,000 perti
nent FBI files and that the oth
er information would not have
changed the verdict.
Nichols, 44, was convicted
in 1997 of conspiracy and in
voluntary manslaughter in the
April 19, 1995, bombing of the
Alfred P. Murrah Federal Build
ing that killed 168 people. He is
serving a life sentence.
Nichols faces a state trial in
Oklahoma City on 160 state
murder counts. He could get
the death penalty.
Company admits to aiding!
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Penn
sylvania company agreed yesterday
to plead guilty to illegally giving Chi
na technology that could help im
prove the accuracy of missiles.
Orbit/FR, headquartered in Hor
sham, about 15 miles north of
Philadelphia, planned to plead guilty
in U.S. District Court to violating the
Arms Export Control Act, according
to papers filed in court yesterday.
Orbit will be fined $600,000
and could be banned from export
ing products for up to 10 years,
U.S. Attorney Michael R. Stiles
said. Charges against at least one
company official are likely to fol
low, he said.
Orbit/FR had agreed to a $1 mil
lion deal with Chinese North Indus
tries Corp., a major military systems
manufacturer for the Chinese army.
The software and equipment sold
to China were designed to measure
