Personal Narrative: A Day Before A Hurricane

“Hurricane Maria has been officially named a category five storm. It has torn its way through Puerto Rico, leaving the island without electricity and fresh water.” Shocked, I turned up the radio. The reporter continued, “Many buildings and homes have been destroyed due to powerful 155 mph winds…” My insides dropped as if someone cut the strings of a marionette. Trying to control my ragged breathing, I pulled into the parking lot of my new school.

One way I can be prepared is to have food, so I can survive for as long as the hurricane last. A generator for when I do not have any power. I do not want to be dehydrate so I will get lots of drinks. Also shelter I need to make sure my home is complex to face the storm. If my home isn't complex than there is churches' and schools, and other places that will welcome anybody. Make sure you go somewhere safe from the

One way someone can be prepared for cat 5 hurricane is by already gathering supplies a week before so that the following week no one is rushing trying to find water anywhere in the store. Another way is leaving the state or have enough gas for the trip even if you are staying home you want to have gas especially if you lose power make cook food after the hurricane passes.

Some ways a person or even you can be prepared for a category 5 hurricane are, make sure you have lots of food and water because you never know how long a hurricane could last. Also you can get some flashlights because most likely your power is going to go out or you can even buy a backup generator. Another thing and a smart thing you can do is evacuate somewhere else where the hurricane won't hit. And if the people that do stay home you can board up your windows and pretty much anything that will break really easily.

And if you have any pets try to look for hotels that accept pets. As stated in “How to be prepared for a hurricane” it says Make sure your vehicle is maintained. Check and replenish all fluids, replace the windshield wipers if possible, check your tire pressure, fill the gas tank and any reserve canisters. Remove any unnecessary external accessories, such as bike racks. Have a spare tire in good working order and lots more.if you evacuating u also want to know where and how you're going to get where you have to

In the event of a severe hurricane, most stores will be closed to the public both during the storm and directly after. Therefore, it is imperative that you stock up on all necessary supplies before the storm strikes. In addition, once the storm is confirmed there will be a mass of people flooding the grocery stores and hardware stores for supplies 1-3 days before landfall, so make sure that you have all of the necessary supplies, such as water, dry food, and canned food items, long before the storm is announced.

A way a person can prepare for a category 5 hurricane can be in many different types of ways. For example gathering supplies, creating an emergency plan for your family, evacuating if it's recommended or mandatory. Furthermore, prepare for power outages, ready your house for flooding, stay away from windows if there is heavy wind, lastly remain cautious after a storm passes. Additionally people should think ahead of time before a hurricane comes. Therefore safety comes first during a hurricane and people should do whatever it takes to survive.

On the other hand, I didn't have a problem making friends. In matter of fact, my mother used to get concerned when I bring more than five friends over to the house. My buddies and I used to have a good time every single day until Hurricane Katrina came. Hurricane Katrina has change my life in a flash, I lost all my friends because I didn't have any way to communicate with them. Social media didn't exist and I was too young for a cellphone. I forgot about my friends and my friends forgot about me but I still miss those people today. I realize the true definition of a hurricane, clothes destroyed, family photos soaked, and furniture destroyed and stolen. We had to shop at goodwill and thrift store just to replenish our closets of clothes. My

I was around seven or eight when Hurricane Katrina hit. I do not remember much about the event besides what the news said and what my family relayed to me. I had been living in Georgia for about a year or two when Hurricane Katrina had hit. Being so young I was not as knowledgable about the disaster until I was older. It was hard for me to be sympathetic because I was ignorant to what was truly going on. I remember my mom watching the news and telling my older brother and I to be more grateful for things but I never truly understood why. I remember lots of people moving to Georgia especially to my neighborhood. There was one family that I remember vividly. They lived in the same building as me, they had three boys, a girl, and a dog. They were

This hurricane that’s going down the coast, has demolished two towns. They weren’t small towns, either. We’ve had so many people calling because of a fire, we’re running out of firetrucks and firefighters! It’s not ending, either. This storm...right now, it’s a Category 4, and it’s headed directly up the coast toward Northern California, where we are.

I have to prevent wildfires, stop buildings from burning, and save people who are trapped. I have to do it. And I

On August 27, 2005 it was my dad’s birthday and all he wanted for his birthday was to leave for hurricane Katrina but my mother was persistent on staying for the hurricane because she had a nursing service and she couldn’t leave her patient and she thought the hurricane wasn’t going to be so devastating but of course she was wrong.
