Hurricanes have not been a major danger in the United States. Hurricane Wilma hit Florida in 2005 and was the last hurricane to effect the East Coast. Hurricane Ike hit Texas in 2008 and was the last hurricane to have an impact on the United States. With this in mind, it is understandable that the East Coast felt the need to over prepare. The hurricane may have been less then what was expected but it still was disastrous. Irene has contracted a damage cost of $ 7o million and killed about 45 people. Streets are flooding with water and homes are being destroyed.
