The American states of New Jersey and Vermont are struggling with their worst flooding in decades. It follows a massive storm which churned up the U.S. East Coast, killing at least 38 over the weekend. Hurricane Irene, later downgraded to a tropical storm, also caused power outages in over 5 million homes and businesses across the country. Total economic damage from the disaster could reach 20 billion U.S. dollars.

  • @BNPpatriot What about it. That was war, this was a natural disaster. It's not like all the innocent people dying caused the damage in Iraq. This by no means is in any sort of way a justice for what the US military has done. It sickens me to think that some people think this way. Show some compassion guys.

  • need to make storm retreats america could have spent 20 billion on shelter from these disasters shame really

  • @gingowitch Yea it was. But if you ever remembered the red man never beleived in land ownership. So technically it wasnt really the red mans land. Also please turn caps lock off. Its slightly annoying.
