This weekend, Hurricane Irene swept the east coast causing floods, damages, cancellation of events and flights at the airport, and evacuation of civilians. My aunt resides in Boston, Massachusetts which is in the path of the hurricane. She witnessed power outages, overflowing rivers, trees blown down, heavy rainfall and wind, some houses being swept away, and floods. Some safety precautions they took were shutting down the T or the train system. She even told me that people who worked at hospitals had to go to work! But she was lucky and stayed at home. Fortunately, only a few people died and it was a category 1 hurricane.
