Dear Uncle Bill,
Finally the strom is over and there is much destrucion. The area is flooded and houses are destroyed. Our house got some minor damage. Thats how I'm able to right this blog. Im just going to brifely tell you about the damages around this area of the storm. It really is eye opening to see all the damage and what it will take to put it all back together.
First off what you mostly see around here is all the pollution in the flood water. Oil has been spilled into the neighborhood, and I have also seen some human and animal waste in the water. Yuck! This make the water and soil polluted and unable to use or drink out of. I saw a rim of a basketball hoop in my front yard this morning. The wind was so strong that it took a metal hoop off of a metal pole. The wind must have been pretty strong. There were trees in my backyard that were blown over and if trees 50-100ft tall fell over that crops were blown over as well. It has been starting to have a smell of mildew and mold. Its all because of the stagnant water and it is allowing the mold and mildew to grow. The waste carries bacteria and viruses and its not helping any.
People are taking this very hard as well. They are getting sick because of the water and soil. The stagnat water is helping produce mold and mildew which is making people sick. It is very unsanitary because of the waste in the water. People treid eating the crops and died because they were contaminated with toxins and chemicals. It is hurting the emotionally too. This is a very tragic event. I have to go now.
