NEW YORK: Amerika Syarikat(AS) berdepan kerugian AS$45 bilion (RM133 bilion) selepas Taufan Irene melanda wilayah pantai timur, bencana alam disifatkan antara yang paling mahal setakat ini, berikutan penutupan aktiviti perniagaan, kehilangan nyawa dan harta benda.

Selepas beratus ribu penduduk meninggalkan Manhattan hujung minggu lalu, Taufan Irene berubah kepada ribut petir berbanding taufan pemusnah tetapi pemilik perniagaan terus menutup kedai mereka kerana bimbang dengan kemusnahan yang mungkin dibawa.
Angka kematian meningkat kepada 21 orang tengah malam kelmarin dan amaran banjir kekal di kebanyakan kawasan manakala pegawai berkata penduduk mungkin mengambil masa untuk meneruskan kehidupan biasa di pusat metropolitan utama seperti New York, kerana sistem pengangkutan ditutup sepenuhnya buat pertama kali berikutan masalah cuaca.
