Isaac cause damage U $ S 2,500 million

No longer hurricane but there is still fear for their passage. Isaac weakened in the last hours and is carried out on American soil, but the Louisiana authorities ordered the immediate precautionary evacuation of over 60,000 people living near Tangipahoa River, to the possible failure of a dam located in the National Park Percy Quin . The winds of 130 mph caused damage estimated at U $ S 2,500 million: U $ S 1,500 are trading losses and breakage houses (covered by insurance companies), and U $ S 1,000 for the deterioration of energy facilities located in the coast. More than 730,000 homes in Louisiana and Mississippi are without electricity. The disaster was much smaller than that caused by Katrina, which devastated New Orleans in 2005. "hazards that may threaten life resulting from storm surge and flooding of land still exist," said the National Hurricane Center of the United States (CNH ). Farmers are excited about the rains, which would allow them to ease the severe drought. The default name for Isaac was the ninth hurricane of the year in the Atlantic, in a list that makes the CNH ahead. The Bible identifies Isaac as patriarch of the people of Israel, the Hebrew name means "son of Joy", since her mother Sarah(wife of Abraham ) was 90 years old when she became pregnant.
