Hurricane Irene




Lately, Hurricane Irene has been a hot topic for the United States due to its tragic effects on the east coast. Specifically in New York, waves pounded on the shores, destroyed hundreds of houses, and uptown valleys were severely flooded as well. The aftermath, however, was even more dreadful for the citizens. Because their homes could not withstand mother nature's fury, families constantly worried for their lives. Victims were found floating atop furniture, the New York transit was shutting down for the first time due to the cause of a natural disaster, and local police even had to post "No Scavenging" signs. Fortunately, in contrast to this life-threatening storm, good samaritan teams such as the Red Cross and Hurrican Irene Funding, other citizens lend helping hands to aid their sister state. Though disasters like these often happen in America, we will overcome anything in our path because sticks in a bundle are unbreakable.
