York, PA - Between 200 and 230 employees from First Energy in Pennsylvania and Ohio were headed for Florida to help brace for Hurricane Irene when they got a call. Irene had shifted course.
First Energy instructed the workers - including eight from the York and Adams county area - to turn around and aim for Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, Irene's new bull's eye.
First Energy is the parent company of local power provider Met-Ed. Power companies routinely pitch in to help one another in the case of an emergency, spokesman Scott Surgeoner said.
Irene's maximum sustained winds increased to near 115 mph with additional strengthening forecast, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said.
Wait, when the hell did we become the bullseye?? |
