hurricane irene hits east coast

A while back in 2011 there was a hurricane called hurricane Irene. The news showed news broadcast of what to expect and how severe the hurricane may or may not be. The news had people all in the east coast scared, and evacuating. people who were at the beach vacationing were evacuated, but some people who were stubborn would not leave. Some believed that if it was there time to go then they would leave in a place that they call home. Personally me, you would not have to tell me twice. But in the grocery stores lines were down the street and around the corner full of worried people buying non-perishable food items in case the hurricane knocked out the power. People also bought wood and supplies to cover up there windows. since the news said we shouldn't get it that bad me and my mom didn't board up our windows we just bought lot of groceries. every day up till the storm the news kept talking about hurricane Irene and how to prepare for it, but overall all we got was hard rain. Other places like upper Darby, and  Delaware, got it bad, they had signs and cars floating down the street.
