The National Hurricane Center says Irene is approaching New York with winds of 120 kilometers per hour.  Forecasters say the upper floors of the city's many high-rise buildings will experience significantly stronger winds than at ground level. Effects of the storm have forced two nuclear reactors to cease operations - one in Maryland and one in New Jersey.  Authorities say the facilities are safe, and no one has been harmed.
