Hurricane Irene- Eugene Dorsey


Hurricane warnings had been frequently appearing to those on the east coast for the past few weeks. This past weekend a hurricane swept the east coast killing 40 people over this three day period. East Coast residents prepared as if the hurricane was going to be as serious as a previous hurricane such as hurricane Katrina. People in places such as inland parts of North Carolina and New York weren't badly affected but those near water had devastating outcomes; homes were destroyed, streets were flooded, whole trees fell, trailers were broken, and power was lost; currently some power is still out in parts of North Carolina and the New York and New Jersey areas.Vermont a state just west of New Hampshire experienced massive flooding. National guards got stuck trying to rescue those suffering in Vermont. Hurricane Irene was said to be the tenth billion dollar storm of 2011. Debris is scattered all over the 11 states and it will take quite some time to get every thing back to its original state.
