These are the strong winds that chaotically pushed and pulled to and from the wall of life. My life was a smooth calm tropical island, all was good. My parents got along, we had money for all the things we needed and the things we wanted. My brothers and i were good, school was easy and my personal and social life were just fine.

If only i had known that this rain was leading into the floods and rapid winds to come, maybe i would have better prepared myself for the three years of hurt confusion and perseverance that were to come. The beginning of the Storm occurred during a two year complicated living situation, in which the rain of “Why God”, “Why me”, “Why us, and violent winds of depression, embarrassment and pain came together to beat me into the wall of life.The only shelter was in my trust and love for the Lord. I had survived the storm of life but then came the storm of high school. I entered confident in who i am and what i can do and am leaving an entirely different person. “Crack, Boom, Lash”, the storm rages on and the winds no

    A hurricane, by definition, is a tropical cyclone with strong winds spiraling inward and upward and speeds ranging from 75 mph to 200 mph. Hurricanes emerge from the Atlantic basin, which consists of the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, the northeastern Pacific Ocean, and, less often, the central north Pacific Ocean. Most hurricanes follow a similar cycle of development. Some may run their course in as little as a day or as long as a month. They weaken and are transformed into extratropical cyclones after prolonged contact with the colder ocean waters of the middle latitudes, and they rapidly decay after moving over land areas.…
