Hurricane Harvey is a hurricane powered by the Gulf of Mexico's warm waters and low velocity. It made landfall on August 25, 2017, in Texas. Hurricane Harvey is a level 4 hurricane with more than 130 mph winds. It has been active for more than 6 days and is still going. The people who have not left are mostly stranded on their roofs, and can only be rescued by boat. Over the past four days, more than a trillion gallons of rain have fallen in only one county, which can fill the Houston Astrodome 3,200 times or run Niagara Falls for 15 days. The streets are covered in up to 5 feet of rain. It has come out into the gulf 2 times, and will probably make its final appearance. It will probably dissipate then.

I believe the significance to the reference of rain in the story, communicates the fact that nature is uninterrupted by not only mankind ways of life, but their catastrophic disasters brought on by nuclear destruction. In that, although this fictional world was apparently destroyed by a nuclear attack, it didn’t affect nature from continuing to function as normal. Furthermore, I would venture to say that the writer was making a play on the fact that not only did nature continue as normal in the midst of disaster, but the computerized home did so as well. In that, the computerized home responded to the rain as if the inhabitants were still alive, and attempted to prepare the would be residents, for the weather. The writer said, “Somewhere in the walls, relays clicked, memory tapes glided under electric

Weather has a way of making people feel a certain way, by affecting their mood. Bright and sunny weather tends to make people happier, while dull and dreary weather brings about less appealing emotions, such as grumpiness, sadness, or fear. Tornado weather, especially in tornado alley, is a source of emotion. For many people living in tornado alley, tornado season offers a mix of fear and excitement.

So our weather in Iowa has patterns because we have seasons. Our seasons are Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. They have a pattern on when they change Winter starts December 22nd, Spring starts March 22nd, Summer starts June 22nd and Fall starts September 22nd and then the pattern starts all over again.
