It could've been a lot worse. Everybody was fortunate. Hopefully municipalities will update any contingency plans that may have been collecting dust.

@Jamesallen20002003 I'm talking about Irene and Yasi though, Katrina was worst obviously, but a lot of that was because of how sudden Katrina was, It wasn't as powerful as Yasi at landfall either. I was mainly comparing the physical size of Yasi and Irene.

@bobri289 Hurricane Irene wasn't our worst hurricane. I think Katrina was worse than your cyclone.

I know the states get more hurricanes then australia, but i think for once australia was worse off with severe tropical cyclone yasi then america was with hurricane irene. Yasi was larger and more powerful, and caused the largest evacuation in the history of queensland with people from over 700km of coast evacuation out of the storms path and destructive winds of at least 120km/h being experienced for up to 7 hours at the landfall point.
@Mr360BeasTx Hey, listen. First off, we aren't as used to hurricanes as you guys down south. Also, It's a lot different, the most populated city in U.S on a small island with giant -underground- subway systems which would cost tons of dollars if they were flooded, not to mention the fact that storm surges could easily flood the outscirts of the city. They evacuated and it because they could be in big trouble if they didn't and people died. It would cost millions and millions of dollars to repair
