As expressed before, hurricane Irma had a strong impact towards my family and friends, and I took rapid measures to get prepared, so never underestimate and storm and always be…
During that week, my family and I were lucky that we didn’t get flooded because of the ditches on our street. Even though it was raining hard where we lived the ditches hold as much of the water it could. Our power went out here and there but never for a long time like everyone else. We were safe throughout the storm with no injuries or destruction.…
The beginning of any storm the first thing to do is get the word out. Technology is key when it comes to spotting storms. ”The United States is launching a new series of satellites that will help scientists track and predict the paths of storms”(Lauber). It is very important that the United States uses good…
Hello I am Anthony Stowe, I am sharing my life experiences. I have experienced many storms, Hurricane Nate, and Hurricane Irma. They were terrible, but IRMA was worse because we went out of power and many trees and twigs had fell during IRMA. When I was little there was a tornado that hit Putnam county, it was bad because a tree fell on our house and we had no power for 2 days. During these storms we were scared but we got thru them.…
For hurricane Irma, I had to evacuate Cape Canaveral and go to my father's house in Ocala. I am very thankful I did because a tornado swept pass on the street across from mine, and many of my neighbors lost their roofs completely. My house had roof damage in the room I use as my art studio. There were some leaks which messed up some artworks in progress. I am thankful though that it is all the damage and not anything more because I know a lot of people went through a lot worse.…
It was a dust storm and we survived through it. Right before the storm came through mommy and daddy were supposed to get married. Then the storm rolled through. I felt bad because this was their big day and it didn't happen but they are going to try again today.…
August 27, 2017, at 2 AM, I watched as the water slowly crept up to my house. I couldn’t sleep. I was sitting there, staring, at the river outside my house that used to be my driveway not knowing what else to do. I kept my phone close that night, every so often hearing the ‘ding’ that would signify that another one of my friends were either being evacuated or the water had finally found its way into their home, while I was silently hoping that the water wouldn’t choose my house to break into. Hurricane Harvey was the first hurricane that I have really been apart of.…
Hurricane Sandy was a tragic event. Though the terror of it’s mighty wrath, it brought humanity together. It changed the way some people viewed the world. It changed the way I viewed the…
In many ways, individuals often struggle against their fears. The time I experienced this was when I used to ride steers a couple summers ago. It was a hot July day and my dad and I had just finished helping my Rodeo queen sister get ready for carrying flags to start off the rodeo. After when we walked over to the stands to get ready for their riding, I was gearing up to ride one of those beasts they call steers, thinking I was going to get killed.…
Technology has developed so much over the years that we have relied on it so much. Technology is used in pretty much everything we use nowadays. Living in a neighborhood was the greatest advantage, but having kids the same age as I was even better. There was never a time we weren't outside: rain, shine, snow, miserably cold, or even scorchingly hot. There was 4 of us: 3 girls and 1 guy, all around the same age.…
During finals week of fall 2014, my grandmother was starting to cook her oatmeal in the kitchen for breakfast. I was upstairs in my room packing when I heard two loud bangs. I was startled and immediately exited my room as did my brother and together we rushed down the stairs into the kitchen. My grandmother had collapsed. She had busted her nose and hit her head on the cabinets behind her rendering herself unconscious.…
I was first introduced to reptiles when I was when I was at a church event that had an “Noah’s ark” petting zoo. They had a local pet store, Aqualand, come out with some of the animals they had in stock. The owner, Mike, came with some of the many exodic animals he had in stock. Among which, he brought many reptiles and invertebrates.…
When I was born, per my father, whenever you would talk to me, I wouldn’t show any reaction towards you. The only time I would ever react is when my mother was screaming about something and I would look around the room for the sound. In third grade, I would always get in trouble, perhaps because I didn’t listen when I was supposed to. This changed as soon as I got my hearing aids. I remember the molding of the hearing aid being stuck into ears, which felt like there was cold water in my ears.…
It was August 2005, first month of second grade year. Of course it was going to be the best year I had my favorite teacher, and classes with all of my friends. Ugh! On August 26, we found out about a hurricane expected to hit.…
