Hurricane Earl Long Island

Evacuation plans were readied for Long Island and New York City; emergency officers in New Jersey also discussed the possibility of evacuating residents from low-lying areas along the coastline. Having experienced a fatality from a distant Hurricane Danielle earlier in August, officials in Maryland took the threat of Earl seriously. An estimated 250,000 people were expected to travel to the region for the Labor Day weekend, increasing the risk of loss of life from rip currents. Daily conference calls between state officials also began on August 30. An administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Craig Fugate, cautioned that Earl's approach warranted a reminder for evacuation plans to be updated for the U.S. east coast, noting "It wouldn't take much to have the storm come ashore somewhere on the coast. The message is for everyone to pay attention." On August 31, mandatory evacuations began on North Carolina's Ocracoke Island . "I don't remember the last time there was a mandatory evacuation order for the island," stated Commissioner Kenneth Collier of Hyde County. On September 1, Governors Bev Perdue and Bob McDonnell issued state of emergency declarations for North Carolina and Virginia, respectively. Naval Station Norfolk was put under orders to be ready to depart port within 24 hours if necessary.

Map of North Carolina

North Carolina is a state located on the Atlantic Seaboard in the Southern United States. The state borders South Carolina and Georgia to the south, Tennessee to the west and Virginia to the north. North Carolina contains 100 counties. Its capital is Raleigh, and its largest city is Charlotte. North Carolina is now ranked as one of the top 3 leading States for Green Technology, Bio-Chemical Engineering, Medical Sciences, and Computer Engineering through the long-range research and development programs of Research Triangle Park (RTP), UNC Chapel Hill, and North Carolina State. North Carolina has a wide range of elevations, from sea level on the coast to 6,684 feet (2,037 m) in the mountains. The coastal plains are strongly influenced by the Atlantic Ocean. Most of the state falls in the humid subtropical climate zone. More than 300 miles (500 km) from the coast, the western, mountainous part of the state has a subtropical highland climate. Between 2007 and 2008, North Carolina was the third-fastest growing state by population in the United States, and the fastest growing state east of the Mississippi River.

Outer Banks

The Outer Banks is a 200-mile (320-km) long string of narrow barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina, beginning in the southeastern corner of Virginia Beach on the east coast of the United States. They cover approximately half the northern North Carolina coastline, separating the Currituck Sound, Albemarle Sound, and Pamlico Sound from the Atlantic Ocean. The treacherous seas off the Outer Banks and the large number of shipwrecks that have occurred there have given these seas the nickname Graveyard of the Atlantic. The Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum is located in Hatteras Village near the United States Coast Guard facility and Hatteras ferry.

Shelley Malil

Shelley Mathew Malil is an Indian-American actor who has appeared in a number of films and TV shows. Malil was born in Kerala, India, and emigrated to the United States in 1974. On August 11, 2008, Malil was arrested for attempted murder after his ex-girlfriend, Kendra Beebe, was stabbed at least 20 times in San Marcos, California. The attack on his former girlfriend, a mother of two, who resides in Carlsbad, California occurred the night of August 10. Malil, who lives in Sherman Oaks, a suburb of Los Angeles, was arrested for investigation of attempted murder, mayhem and burglary and booked into the county's Vista Detention Center, the statement said. He is currently in custody at San Diego's Central Jail. Malil, 43, was arrested at an Amtrak station in San Diego as he got off a train in Oceanside. He was originally held at $2 million bail, which has since been increased to $10 million after being deemed a flight risk. The bail has since been reduced to $3 million, as Malil is no longer considered a flight risk. On August 13, Malil pleaded not guilty to attempted murder charges. If convicted, Malil could face the maximum sentence of life in prison for the charge of attempted murder, including premeditation, causing great bodily injury, residential burglary, and using a deadly weapon.
