ABC NEWS: All Eyes on Kyle The 11th Named Storm of the Season Likely to Strengthen, Could Hit New England By SARAH NETTER Parts of New England could be in for a beating if Tropical Storm Kyle stays on its current path. The storm, packing sustained winds of up to 60 mph, is more than 400 miles south-southwest of Bermuda, and a tropical storm warning has been issued for the island, although Bermuda's not likely to take a direct hit. "It's kind of a lopsided storm," Feltgen said, noting that tropical storm-force winds extend 180 miles to the northeast but only 20 miles to the southwest. Forecasters do not yet know exactly where Kyle will make landfall or even if the United States will take a direct hit. But areas in northern New England, including Massachusetts' Cape Cod and Maine, "are in that cone of uncertainty right now," Feltgen said.

"...Section 1076 of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 changed the name of the key provision in the statute book from "Insurrection Act" to "Enforcement of the Laws to Restore Public Order Act." The Insurrection Act of 1807 stated that the president could deploy troops within the United States only "to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy." The new law expands the list to include “natural disaster, epidemic, or other serious public health emergency, terrorist attack or incident, or other condition" -- and such "condition" is not defined or limited. . . .
