|

As she grows in size, Hurricane Irene gets closer and closer to the United States’ eastern seaboard. While Florida looks like it will escape much of Irene’s fury, other states may not be so lucky, and when you take a closer look at the lead image, courtesy of NASA, it looks like anyone who occupies an eastern coastal state isn’t going to escape her fury.
In fact, Irene has grown to such a large size, she’s bigger than the entire east coast of the United States. To quote Winston Zeddemore, “that’s a big Twinkie.” As a preemptive move against the potential catastrophe Irene represents, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has ordered some evacuations. According to CBS, these include hospitals and other care facilities:
Staten Island University Hospital and Coney Island Hospital have begun evacuating patients to vacant beds at medical centers on higher ground. NYU Hospitals Center and Veterans Administration Medical Center are the other hospitals in the evacuation zone, according to the New York City Office of Emergency Management.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg ordered some of those hospitals, nursing homes and senior centers in the most flood-prone areas of the city to be evacuated by 8 p.m. ET Friday.

Some days ago Irene cross Puerto Rico site by site of the island. We were not hurt by the winds, but the rain affected all the island.
For anyone in the affected areas. Be ready and always follow the news about Irene. I was looking the TV and prognostic look bad. Take care. |

For people live there, evaluate when you are asked to.
There is nothing more important than your lives and family. |
