Hurricane Sandy
Hurricane sandy was a strong storm which took everything with
her. I cannot forget what I saw in this storm. The wind was like a freezing storm;
trees are fallen down and block the road. Airlines have canceled thousands of
flight about 1,810, hospitals are out of electric and MTA
is closed for unannounced days(foxnews). In night time, I was reading “zetioun”
book on 29th October. Suddenly i heard
one voice from my neighbor house fire fire…………..I just got up from my bed and
went outside with my family because we thought fire in our house also. Then we saw
my neighbor’s car was burning because an electrical wire in water touched the
car. The car was burning about half an hour and the power of our area has already
cut off. In Breezy point, the NY city coastal community destroyed 80 to 100
homes by fire (Foxnews). Even though
from morning Monday 29th October we could not drink water, we felt
toxic materials in water. I think we should establish “Water Tank” in our houses
where we can save rain water through the filtration as whole year. It’s not modern
machine but at least we drink safe water in big catastrophe. I heard from Foxnews
“Lower Manhattan” is also facing same problem in water. My father told me, we
should leave our house. We could not stay our house without water and power. That
time I felt why Zeitoun did not want to live his house and why he was so
positive thinking to stay his house. From my own experience it was really unfortunate
moment when anyone leaves her house specially when we do not know what will happen
in next. NJ Gov. Christie said that about damages from sandy is “unprecedented”
and “unthinkable”. It is really made a record of damages in NY (Foxnews). Now I
am just waiting when I can go back my home from my aunt’s house.
