Hurricane Irene is a major disaster that has occurred recently. The hurricane left a lot of destruction in the east coast on August 27 and 28. One way it has affected the residents of Virginia and North Carolina is that it has knocked out the power and water. The power was out for about forty hours for thousands of residents. The residents that lived in the greatly affected areas had to endure the power outage because the power company had more difficulty restoring the power in that area. Because of the lack of power, many businesses had been closed, limiting income. However, taxes have been postponed until October 31. Also, there has been territorial damage to the area. The physical damage to the area was not as bad as they expected. Beach erosion reached seven feet only in some areas. However, the roads continue to be closed.
