Hurricane Ian damaged many different locations, especially in Florida. It later moved into the Atlantic Ocean where it regained its strength and attacked South Carolina and Georgia. This hurricane has destroyed many belongings. These people living with this traumatic incident are now left with nothing but hope.
I feel very sorry for all of the people who had to go through something so distressing, some people losing everything that they had. This event could affect the whole world, whether you're watching it happen or living it. Tropical Cyclones are very dangerous, so if you're close to where it starts that's all you're going to pay attention to while others nearby are watching to see what is going on in the world around them. This occurs because of mother nature so there's no way that we can stop it. It shows us how grateful we have to be to have what we do because others are restarting their lives due to the horrible hurricane.
This event is very significant because it devastated many people's lives, even a former resident of Ohio and teacher of Lowellville High School. Pamela Iarussi has stated, ¨I moved to Cape Coral in southwest Florida on June 1st knowing that ‘hurricane season’ is a thing here. Our house has heavy gauge aluminum storm shutters on every window and door so when Hurricane Ian looked like it was making a turn towards us instead of Tampa, I felt okay knowing I could just close the house up and wait it out inside. The day before it hit us, the mayor issued a mandatory evacuation order for residents in my part of the city. I talked to my neighbors and they said that based upon our elevation the storm surge would not flood our homes. So I ignored the order and stayed. The hurricane itself (7+ hours of the most intense wind and rain I have ever encountered) was terrifying and seemed to never end. Snapped poles lined the streets the next day and we lost electricity for a week. We were without running water for five days and without internet for over two weeks. With that said, we were one of the lucky ones--we didn't get any flooding inside our house. We did sustain exterior damage to our roof, dock, boatlift canopy, pool screens and cage, and a lot of our landscaping was destroyed. I recently drove around the city and judging by all of the debris at the curbs, many people lost everything so we feel very fortunate.¨
This is a world wide topic so everyone should be informed on these events. Mother nature can't be controlled so it can affect you or your loved ones. This tropical storm doesn't only affect one location; it moves to many different areas which may cause a large disaster. Many lives are being taken as well as all of the things they had.
