Hurricane - John

Dear Uncle Randy,

It seems like only yesterday that hurricane hit. Since my last post, I've have split my time between helping others and watching my siblings. Everyone is alright, just a little scared is all. Fortunatly, the storm soon stopped. Me some others went out to find more supplies and I took my digital camera and took some pics. Although only one got into here:

I've also done some additional research for hurricanes (this is getting interesting and I would think I should be hurricane savvy since it happened to me). Environmentally, these storms create storm surges, big "domes" of water thaat sweep across the hurricane's landing point and these can wash away beaches, plus they uproot trees. Economically, the costliest storm was Hurricane Andrew. There was an estimated $25 billion ($25,000,000,000.00) worth of damage. Now for humans, these storms impact us in many ways. They lift boats, destroy houses, roofs are torn off, large trucks are lifter cables and wires are ripped apart, and people have little chance of survival outdoors. Nationwide, hurricanes have an avg. of 17 deathes while it's floods have 147 per year.

Well, thats all for now, I might not get back to you at all because so much is to be done so wish me luck. Bye!
