Hurricane Irene-Dristay Torres

During the past few weeks, United States inhabitants on the east coast had been anticipating the worst as Hurricane Irene was said to hit. However, depite the constant hype and overprecaution created by the TV and the US Government, when Hurricane Irene actually hit the US it was meerely a small one compared to other hurricanes and devasting weather conditions as it was rated a level one hurricane. Although, Hurricane Irene still left an impact for the east coast as it effected 11 states and millions of people. In fact, as a result of Hurrican Irene, cities were flooded with angry flows of waters, houses were torn apart and violent winds that reached up to about 80 mph, teared trees from their roots and left them scattered throughout towns. The surprising thing though about this hurricane is that despite the estimated billion dollar cost in destruction, some people say that when it hit the east coast it was just a powerful tropical storm as the actual hurrican had transformed along its path to the US. All in all, people in the east coast are left with the great endeavor to rebuild their homes due to Hurricane Irene's destructive effects.
