Many people on the east coast predicted Hurricane Irene to be a devestating natural disaster. although it did nit cause as much damage as predicted, it still left a big dent in the east coast. Irene left twelve billion dollars worth of damage in its path and claimed the lives of about fourty people. The hurricane caused many floods, causing people to evacuate their homes and seek new shelter. States of emergency were announced and the National Gaurd was deployed to help aid the refugees. Many are still without power on the east coast and many of the roads and highways are still blocked by floodwaters.
