The two arent even comparable to eachother. There i simply nothing to it. Ike was a far worse hurricane than Irene. YOu cant compare them. It is like comparing A professional football player with a little league football player. The professional dominates. And Ike is the professional. Lets look at some stats. Ike is the second costliest. Irene is the sixth cotliest. 4 inbetween. Ike did 37.6 billion in damage and 40.6 in 2012 US dollars. Irene didnt even do 20 billion. Ike killed 195 people with 34 still missing and Irene didnt even kill 100. Ike had a highest surge of 28 feet. It covered the land with 10 feet in galveston which is 17 feet above sea level. Irene covered an area 6 feet above with about 2 feet. ike wins big time. They arent comparable.
