Hurricanes and tornadoes are both severe weather events that can potentially cause a great deal of damage to property. Both of these storms can threaten human life and in severe events with either a hurricane of a tornado there may well be a loss of life. They may be quite different in how they form and what they actually do but on the other hand those storms are both potentially devastating so they fall into the same category of potential severe weather danger. People who live in areas where hurricanes and tornadoes are known to appear during certain seasons of the year are always urged to be alert to weather warning systems. Those same residents know from experience to keep their radios tuned to weather emergency stations and they are in many cases prepared for the brunt of a storm by building basement shelters.

On September 21 1938 an enormous hurricane hit the east coast, RI and Long island was greatly impacted. This storm was very powerful due to various conditions.

Hermine weakened while crossing from Florida into Georgia, but still produced sustained winds of 45 mph (72 km/h) at Savannah, with gusts to 58 mph (93 km/h).[77] Farther northeast, Folly Island, South Carolina, reported sustained winds of 44 mph (71 km/h) with gusts to 59 mph (95 km/h),[78] and the pier in Duck, North Carolina, reported sustained winds of 58 mph (93 km/h) with gusts to 73 mph (117 km/h).[79] Heavy rainfall occurred through the Carolinas, reaching 10.72 in (272 mm) in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina.[80] At Norfolk International Airport, wind gusts reached 43 mph (69 km/h).[81] In Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia, Hermine's passage left around 274,000 people without power.[40][42][82][83]

Hurricanes have affected the Caribbean islands for many centuries but particularly in the 19th century. During the 1840’s Cuba was affected by three hurricanes that all happened within four years of each other in 1842, 1844, and 1846. Many scholars have looked over these hurricanes in Cuba as not really having much of an in depth affect on Cuba’s life and history but just as being hurricanes. But Louis A. Pérez Jr. a professor and scholar, labeled these 19th century hurricanes as a “flash point” to look at Cuba’s history from multiple angles. saw the 1842, 1844, and 1846 hurricanes as being more than just storms by using multiple resources like the Archivo Nacional de Cubaa, Havana, encyclopedias, such as the Encyclopedia of Hurricanes, Typhoons, and Cyclones by David Longshore (New York, 1998), and descriptive chronologies by David L. Niddrie and David M. Ludlow to name a few. By reviewing and using all of these resources, Louis A. Pérez concluded that the 1840’s hurricanes had an effect on agriculture, social relations, and the overall national identity of Cuba.

Hurricanes are destruction, they are brutal, they are the epitome of devastation. Hurricanes are synonymous with damage, but so is Sherman Alexie. In The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, the damage imposed on today’s Native Americans is traced back to the infamous year of 1492. The pain we caused, the genocide of culture, of people, of opportunity, of safety, still lingers today. We shudder about the past, we regret what we had done, and we forget. We are blind to our current Native American population.

Florida has no power, the days after the Hurricane. The fourth day, people in Florida faced super hot days and 99% of power customers have no electricity. You have to what three hours at any gas station, while people stand in line for hours just to buy a fruit juice at a Lowe's store. about 1,000 people from Texas are working in central Florida to try and help 100,000 residents. People are wanting to get service in three days, but at this rate they won’t get service for another week. recovery is only getting started, and some areas remain flooded.

Fear comes in all shapes and forms, be it a natural disaster, paranormal event, or a dangerous situation, it never fails to give us chills. When i was younger, i had a very scary event happen to me. It was a rainy and windy night and I was facetiming a friend, and she had just told me that there was a man looking into my front door windows, and when i looked up i saw that there was indeed a man in the window. I ran to my mom’s room, she called the sheriff and after they looked around and came back to us, they showed us a picture. The picture was of an outline of a pair of shoes (on our driveway) that were completely dry, even when rain poured on them.

The problem that separates this storm from others is that this storm was one of those most costly storms in recorded history. In New York City alone, the damage caused by the storm was estimated at $19 billion; which includes all private, public, and indirect costs (Huffington post). This storm destroyed over 305 thousand housing units, resulting in the payout of over $1 billion of assistance money paid out by FEMA to New York City families whose properties were destroyed (Huffington post). “$855 million was used to help survivors with home repairs and temporary rental costs” and the other “$145 million was used for other uninsured hurricane related expenses such: moving costs, personal property, transportation, medical and dental costs, and

Sirens blaring the flash of lightning then the colossal clap of thunder. Many people think that storms are amazing and beautiful, but some think storms are the worst thing on the planet. These people who hate storms have a phobia called astraphobia. This phobia is also very common in children and if you have this phobia, don’t feel ashamed, an astonishing 2.1% of people on this planet have astraphobia. Astraphobia is nothing to be ashamed of and many people suffer from this phobia.
