After a few weeks of searching, Jackson decided that his mother was dead, that she was never going to come back. Eliza helped create a funeral for Jackson, but a heavy storm interupted the production and they never got back to it. “I am truly sorry Jackson.” Eliza cooed from where she stood at the window to look out at the raging storm. Looking down at the newspaper article, Eliza stepped back from the window to look to Jackson.

As I sat there on the floor shivering with fright, I realized there was nothing I could do but wait. I could feel the house shaking, quivering, trying to withstand the treacherous winds. I could hear the roof tiles peeling off and torpedoing through the air. The rain and howling seemed as if it would never end. Hours later, when the wind and torrential downpour calmed, my family and I made our way outside to see the damage.

“I remember the horrible smell, like a zoo”. When all the mattresses were taken and claimed, Lupe rested her head and began to fall asleep watching her dad still standing, guarding the little girl and her mother.

In conclusion, the Galveston hurricane attack was a horrible thing. Thankfully, now the workers and people in Galveston, Texas are trying to keep the disaster

My brother and I, however, wanted to ride the Journey to Atlantis ride and we promised we would leave after our turn at the ride. We got in line and just like the day before, it began pouring almost immediately, hitting the scorching pavement and causing a musty smell to linger in the air. At this point, my family could not stand the rain anymore and my brother and I were forced to get out of the line and into the car as soon as possible. When we were exiting, I noticed that the rain was pouring faster and faster, causing immense puddles in the parking lot. Because I was the only one with deep pockets, cousin gave me her phone to put in my jacket and as we got closer to the car, I pulled it out to check what time it was.

She reports last night her mother thought her children were trying to break into her home and take items out the home.

A few hours later all of my stuff was tucked into my room, Mom and Sydney both started crying when they got ready to leave. Dad even had tears in his eyes, “I promise all of you, I’ll take good care of her. No Debbie downers allowed!” Sarah hugged mom and Sydney then Dad and Cade.

On August 29, 2005, my home was destroyed. Hurricane Katrina had made her arrival. I remember the howl of her rattling winds as I sat in my uncle’s house in Baton Rouge. I watched her violent tears fall from the darkened skies. Unbeknownst to me, the levees were bursting, filling my childhood home in St. Bernard Parish with over ten feet of water.

Age 4 The screams became louder as I hid under my covers. My tears had soaked my face as the noise got closer. I could hear the gruesome noise of the cries of someone out in the hall.

I can remember some things we did together when they were younger, like when we would have “Twins got Talent” in our living room and I would be the celebrity judge, or when we would practice our cheer routines in the back yard. Now, I have been sitting in a hospital bed for the past three months thinking about them, seeing them in my dreams, crying over them. My parents constantly asking me how I feel or if I have had any visions lately has started becoming an annual thing, but the answers will never change. Nightmares about what I think happened in the car come almost twice a day, and now my doctors have to lock my door when I sleep. Apparently I have been reported for wandering the halls at night screaming their names, and walking into patients rooms crying, asking if they have seen Lisa or

What happened in Oklahoma? On Sunday 7, 1934 5:04p.m. Oklahoma was hit by a terrible dust storm at the farm. Billie Jo stated,”We just felt wind

After leaving Rock Creek, we had to follow the Platte River and travel the rest of the way to Fort Kearney. I felt a cold gust of wind coming from the North and little droplets of water slowly fell down. The wagon had no damage until the rain fell harder and harder. Our only wagon cover was soaking wet and water was dripping down into the wagon ruining all of our belongings. A very strong wind blew towards our direction and slightly tilted all of our wagons.

It is indisputable that the death and destruction that occurred following Hurricane Katrina was caused by the negligence of the federal government to provide critical aid following the storm. A lack of coordination and cooperation between the Louisiana state government and federal agencies allowed for the unnecessary devastation and loss of life the city of New Orleans has endured. Prior to the hurricane, New Orleans was a rapidly evolving city that was home to individuals of varying races, ethnicities, and places of origin. With real estate booming and a fiscally sound government, the city was projected for great success. As Mayor of New Orleans, I utilized my power to protect my citizens to the best of my ability.
