Title: Video: Tropical storm Lee floods US

Description:
The remnants of Tropical Storm Lee poured water on top of the already soaked US northeast on Thursday, closing hundreds of roads and forcing evacuation orders for more than 100,000 people from the Susquehanna River's worst flooding in nearly 40 years. In Binghamton, New York, a city of about 45,000, the Susquehanna coursed into the streets and climbed halfway up lampposts and storage sheds. Mayor Matt Ryan said it was the city's worst flooding since the flood walls were built in the 1930s and `40s. Buses and then boats were used to evacuate residents, and National Guard troops were on hand to help. A large evacuation shelter was opened on the campus of Binghamton University. It is able to house more than 1,000 evacuees, and they have been steadily filing in since Wednesday. Up to nine inches of rain fell in Binghamton and areas of Pennsylvania. Rivers and streams passed or approached flood stage from Maryland to Massachusetts, and experts said more flooding was coming. Downstream, up to 75,000 residents were ordered to leave in and around Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, where the levee system is just high enough to hold back the if it crests at the predicted level. Even if the levees hold, 800 to 900 unprotected homes were in danger. RT on Twitter: http://twitter.com/RT_comRT on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/RTnews

Sep 10, 2011 - That is screwed up, man. You people need to start learning how your body works and what role food plays in it. That many people with huge bellies, all together, it's just shocking for a European to see. We don't have this kind of sights here.
trumpetSL08 Says:
Sep 10, 2011 - Well you Europeans need to realize not all Americans are fat and not all Americans eat McDonald's. I personally find McDonald's repulsive. Though they have really good Iced tea but that's not the point I know how my body works. Yes there are fat people but there are fat people everywhere in the world.

Sep 10, 2011 - 34% of US population is obese. That is 100 million. There are fat people everywhere, but not in these biblical proportions! Fast Food costs more then real food in Europe, we mostly avoid it. That is for the Americans.

Sep 12, 2011 - I meant that fat people exist in any country, but the proportions are very different. There are 5 coutries a bit over 20 percent, and the rest is much lower. But 34% ??? And 50% are "just" fat? That is only in America. Japanese eat healthy stuff, 3% obesity. It it simply shocking to see so many fat people together, it really stands out, when somebody other then American watches this video. It's a country of FAT PEOPLE, nothing we can do about it.
