Hurricanes day 3 - Ryan Y.

Hey Mom, hey Dad! The good news is I'm still alive and are storm windows are working and not one thing has damaged are house. The storm is over now, but you should see all the damage that has been done! Their are pieces of houses every where, and there is twisted metal and toxic chemicals every where. I was listening to the radio and they said that the toxic fluids have seeped into the ground and into our groundwater that we drink and use. The army has now constructed a shelter for those in need of a home because the storm completely destroyed theirs. Their also are thousands who are sick and injured and need medical care. Off shores rigs are one of the many problems, thousands to millions of gallons of oil were spilled by the hurricane and all this oil seeped into water systems and people have been drinking the water and its getting them sick. I'd have to estimate over millions of dollars have been spent to fix the roads and building the hurricane has destroyed, and also most of money is spent to help those in need of food and shelter because the hurricane destroyed their house. People are now stealing more because lots of people have lost their houses and have nothing to live off of, so they are stealing things like food so they won't starve to death, and expensive things that they could sell to make money. I also was peering outside and I noticed that thousands of trees were destroyed by the storm, and contaminated water was getting into our water system. The hurricane also caused a flood and got into peoples houses and created mold every where and viruses spread. Many people have lost their family, and friends by the hurricane. Another problem was that people had know where to take showers because they had no home anymore so they got sick from filth or uncleanliness. It just broke my heart to see all these family's broken up by the storm, I'm glad your not here to see all this its very disturbing, we are also finally safe to come home and I'm so excited I miss you guys, I got to go, BYE!

Sincerely,
Ryan Young
