Personal Narrative: Tallahasse Hurricane

When one reads a book or article, conflict, setting, and point of view are critical to understand what they're reading. “I Survived, Hurricane Katrina, 2005”, by Lauren Tarshis is a fiction book based on the event of Hurricane Katrina. The novel is about a young boy who lost his family, and is trying to survive. The nonfiction resource “Hurricane Katrina Coverage for Central Alabama” by the National Weather Service is also about Hurricane Katrina but, the author took a different way of writing it. The website basically summarizes Hurricane Katrina and the damage effects of it. Hurricane Katrina was a serious event, and both of these resources helped inform everybody about it but, took very different approaches while doing it, both, the nonfiction

When I went to sleep I had no Idea I was going to wake up to a huge storm as I got out of bed I saw that my tree was on the ground it looked like a never tried to chew it down to make a dam. That's when I turned on the news and saw that there was a hurricane.

It was about 4:00, on game day against Courtland, when I told the team we should probably start our pregame warmups. This consisted of everything that a normal high school baseball team does before a game. We started off by taking a jog to the flagpole on the centerfield fence, which is also where we stretched . We followed that up with getting a light toss in just good enough to get our arms ready for a game. Courtland was then announced and right after that was my team, the Eastern View Cyclones. The national anthem was then played and directly after it ended the umpire called out, “Play

“Change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end,” said Robin Sharman. Advancements and progress that came from innovational minds took time and there were many obstacles and hardships. During the 1900s the world gave birth of the bright minds of the Wright Brothers that gave the world’s first successful airplane, also the modifications of the corset gave way to new fashion styles and trends and finally the tragic Galveston Hurricane paved the pathway of new mechanics and progressive ideas. Before, the thought of people being in the air and flying seemed impossible and dangerous, but the 1900s was a decade of advancement and many innovative minds such as Orville and Wilbur Wright, tried to build a “flying machine”. Unlike

Hurricane Katrina made landfall on August 23rd, 2005. It was considered a category five hurricane and complete devastated the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, which is my home. At the time I was a merely five years old, but I remember the aftermath. The coming home to empty slabs where houses use to stand, neighbors who had disappeared or perished with the storm, and the constant fear of looting and criminal acts happening in the small devastated town of Waveland. All of this struck home in the heart of a young Landon Brady, and always has. At a very young age I was forced to adapt and strengthen my will, for my entire environment had turned upside down. Before the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina I lived in a medium size home and went on with life as any five year old

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. We’re going to have to devote our lives to saving these people, and I’m quite uneasy. Don’t get me wrong, I’m ready, but...I’m afraid. I can’t be scared, though. I have to prevent wildfires, stop buildings from burning, and save people who are trapped. I have to do it. And I

In my town in Moore Oklahoma meteorologists predictions weren't always right. This being said people don't really take a tornado threat or warning seriously. In 2013, there haven't been very many major tornadoes since May of 1999. Oklahomans were stereotypical. Oklahomans went outside and looked at the developing storms for fun and did not take shelter. After the 1999 tornado, the storms that did hit in Oklahoma did little to moderate damage.

No one knows what I went through during Hurricane Maria, you were not in my shoes.

The natural disaster that I can remember was the hurricane Rita of 2005. I was hired as a teacher in June to begin teaching in August. This was my first year as a teacher and several weeks later there was a hurricane in the gulf. The city of Beaumont began to welcome all families from New Orleans and they also made room for several students into the schools. The next couple of weeks Beaumont was under a hurricane Rite threat and many people recalled, was under a hurricane Rite threat and many people recall the devastation that Katrina did to New Orleans. I was devastated to hear about the storm on its way toward Beaumont Texas. The weather channel warned everyone to evacuate the cities all around Beaumont area. I was prepared to stay home

In Chapter 12 the remains of the hurricane are brought to the surface. The community lost the nature that surrounds them and their families lives. Esch’s childhood was changed by this hurricane. Katrina brought the family together through the loss of possessions, which create a place to store your memories and sentimental items. Memories for Randall were physically taken away but not mentally. An acknowledgment and acceptance was brought to old situations with Esch and Daddy. Hope was shown through the loss of China. The indomitability of the Bois community after Katrina shows the strength of the community when brought together.

The birds chirp loudly as the sun shines through black velvet curtains, which allow the outside world to be covered, but only to a certain extent. The sound of vibrations against a solid, wooden surface cause my ears to perk up like those of a dog, and I feel one eye lift its blinds up before the other. A black wire, although vaguely seen due to poor vision, is dangling from the source of the sound, and another strong vibration allows me to wake up as I grab the source of my awakening, and unplug it from the oversized cable. My finger automatically slams the power button on the side of my phone to open the screen, and the large white, digital numbers across the lock screen grab my attention. (Damn it!) I curse at myself for having slept passed ten.

I woke up early morning and turned on the TV. I could not see anything

Clash with the Hurricane- Personal Narrative The sky darkened from the blue light sky, it turned suddenly to a dark black gloomy sky hovering with a mist cloud. I walked back into the car, seemingly it was going to pour down. Heavily, the wind blew. I turned to shut the windows, but, as I looked closer out of the window, huge clouds started fusing together which then created a huge immense hurricane.
