Irene heads for North Carol
Hurricane brings potentially more flooding, expected to nuk\t
WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) — Hurricane Irene
continued to track toward North Carolina yesterday,
bringing the potential for more flooding to the
storm-weary state.
Officials reported no sustained tropical-force winds
on land before dawn yesterday, although sustained
winds near 50 mph were clocked over coastal waters.
Still, Irene continued to maintain sustained winds of
75 mph — just above the threshold for a hurricane.
Topsail Beach, northeast of Wilmington, was or
dered evacuated yesterday morning. Nearby Onslow
Beach, under the Marine Corps’ jurisdiction, was
closed as well. A steady rain fell across the southeast
quarter of the state.
Late Saturday, evacuation orders were issued for Sun
set Beach and Ocean Isle along North Carolina’s south
ern coast, and yesterday no one was being permitted on
the nearby Oak Island, where Hu meant fi ^
ashore last month, Brunswick Countyeniei^ '
agement officials said.

BELLA VISTA, Calif. (AP) —
Fires burned out of control across
thousands of acres of brush and
grass yesterday in northern Califor
nia, where the blazes have destroyed
scores of homes and forced thou
sands of people to evacuate.
Winds moderated in the after
noon, and some of those forced Sat
urday to flee a 20,000-acre fire in
Shasta County were allowed to re
turn to see if they still had homes.
More than 100 structures were
destroyed.

Nurse convicted of
killing 6 patients
Poll reveals ordinary America
appreciate U.S. military miglit
BRAZIL, Ind. (AP) — A former
nurse was convicted of murder
yesterday in the deaths of six pa
tients who authorities said were
deliberately given lethal injections
at a western Indiana hospital.
Jurors hearing the case of
Orville Lynn Majors told the judge
they could not reach a verdict on
the seventh count.
Majors, 38, faces a maximum
of 65 years in prison on each
count. The judge set sentencing
for Nov. 15.
Majors’ sister, Debbie McClel
land, said as she paced the court
room, “How could they do this to
him? He didn’t kill anyone."
Defense attorneys said they
plan to appeal the verdict.
“Lynn is very upset,” defense
attorney Carolyn Rader said. “It’s
very human to feel some sense of
closure, or peace even, at the
worst possible news. ”
Majors had contended the
patients died of the ailments
that put them in the hospital,
but prosecutors said the deaths
were consistent with injections
of potassium chloride, epineph
rine or both.
Police found containers of
both drugs at Majors’ house and
in his van.
The patients died in a 13-
month span at Vermillion County
Hospital in Clinton.
