Hurricane Patica Hurricanes
My article is about a very bad hurricane that is coming to Mexico's central Pacific coast. The hurricane is named hurricane Patica. Hurricane Patricia will have tremendous negative effects on Mexico. The article states that in one of Mexico's country Manzanillo, the skies have so far not been dark and not really cloudy and that they have not placed an order of evacuation yet. Residents have been preparing for the hurricane and one city in Mexico, Colima, would have a closing of their schools on Friday, November 23rd, 2015, to insure the safety of children in Mexico. Forecasters have predicted that the Hurricanes very high winds which are projected to be 155 kph and can be higher will flow into Manzanillo and Puerto Vallarta.

    Hurricane Elena was an unpredictable and damaging tropical cyclone that affected the United States Gulf Coast in late August and early September 1985. Threatening popular tourist destinations during Labor Day weekend, Elena repeatedly defied forecasts, triggering an unprecedented series of evacuations; many residents and tourists were forced to leave twice in a matter of days. Elena's slow movement off western Florida resulted in severe beach erosion and damage to coastal buildings, roads, and seawalls. The hurricane devastated the Apalachicola Bay shellfish industry, killing off vast oyster beds and leaving thousands of workers unemployed. Farther west, Dauphin Island in Alabama endured wind gusts as high as 130 mph (210 km/h) and a significant…

    This is where many families, including my own, had beach cabins that were totally destroyed by the storm and storm surge. The surge in this area actually started 2 days before the storm hit. In the area of Bolivar Peninsula there were around 150 people that had stayed behind and did not listen to the warnings of the upcoming storm. Sadly most of the 150 people that stayed behind became victims of the storm. Many people lost their lives trying to escape as the water began to rise. There were many cars found near a town called High Island the people were trying to make it to. In the cars they found people who had died while trying to make it to safety. Still to this day there are people who have not been accounted for, almost 3 years…

    Hurricanes can have the same speed or more but can have different effects. That is what happened in hurricane Katrina and Nargis. Hurricane Katrina happened in New Orleans in August 29, 2005. Hurricane Nargis happened in Myanmar in April 27, 2008. Both hurricanes left a lot of damage but hurricane Nargis had more damage. This is so because America was more prepared unlike Myanmar.…

    2. In my opinion, I believe that any storm could make a lot of damage. However, some stories such as the article I just read can tend to be more entertaining than what it may seem. For example, this storm could be like Hurricane Katrina about 12 years ago, or it can be something compared to just a lot of heavy down pours of rain. Who's to say? It really just depends on the outlook.…

    First if the media says that the hurricane is a category 5, your automatically going to have to evacuate. In the article “This is what a category 5 hurricane can do to your house” states that “ category 5 hurricanes has winds with up to 185 mph and can destroy a decent size house”.

    A hurricane is one of the extreme natural events that can destroy a country rapidly. In a month, Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico were hit by extremely destructive hurricanes. The island of Puerto Rico was hit by Hurricane Maria last September 20, 2017, and it left the whole island in a total destruction. Hurricane Maria stunned Puerto Ricans because of it “crushed concrete balconies, crippled the island with landslides and flooding, that resulted to no power and telecommunication services in the whole island” (Coto 23). The Puerto Rico leaders sought help from the United States’ president as soon as Hurricane Maria was still in Puerto Rico. In Peter Baker and Caitlin Dickerson’s article entitled “Trump warn storm-ravaged Puerto Rico that aid won’t last forever”, my authors argue that President Donald Trump was losing patience in the island’s situation and that the federal government will not stay forever in Puerto Rico (Baker,…
