Ivan the Terrible
Hurricane Ivan is coming a shore in our great United States. I fear for the lives of all the residents in Ivan's pathway. If they have evacuated then I fear for their homes and all they have left behind. Hurricanes and any natural disasters are just what their name implies, disasters. These horrific storms are things I wish upon no one, no matter who they are. The wind and the water get so out of control. It is one of the scariest things I can think of, trees falling, and death occurring.
I asked my friend Ami what she thought of when she thought about a hurricane and she immediately responded, "my dad's truck and all the pain and agony it caused my family." This is one tremendous example of suffering a hurricane can bring to someone and their loved ones. In this case Ami's family was without personal transportation for quite sometime, because five trees smashed into her father's pick-up truck. This was her father's only way of getting of getting to work and so it hurt them financially until they were able to figure out a way to get him there without disrupting his wife's oddly houred work schedule. Even worse things happen on account of hurricanes all over the nation and much worse will of course come from the evil that is Ivan.
Ami's hurricane catastrophe was an example of hurricane Isabel that hurt America, but my other friend, Josh's family may be getting hurt even worse by the upcoming hurricane, Ivan. He lives in Pensacola, FL and is expecting it to destroy his family's shed that his deceased father built. This is going to hurt his family, not financially, but more emotionally. Aside from this destined to fall shed the family is poor and going to hurt financially by leaving town for the period of time the hurricane is in existence in their city. Josh and his family will be okay, but they will have to build their lives back up again along with their property when they return home. I hope the horrors of this hurricane do not come to Virginia Beach, VA, but I think I would rather myself be harmed than others.
Hurricanes are one of the unexplained occurrences of life, involving wind rain and water and resulting in all kinds of suffering. Ivan is a category five hurricane, which means it will be more destructive than Isabel, which was a category four when it hit us in Virginia Beach, VA. I would never want anyone to have to go something like a hurricane or a tornado or other related storms for that matter. A lot of times it is not as bad as people make them out to be, but you just never know if that one tree that falls out of thousands will be the one to land on your home.
