=The Br ains of Hurricanes. =

H! My name is Davis Johnson. I live in Saint Louis, Missouri. I go to school at [| MICDS]. My fifth grade class is making a natural disaster project. I will be talking about hurricanes for my project. We do not have any hurricanes in Saint Louis because we are smack dab in the middle of the U.S., not by any oceans. However there are many other cities in the U.S. that are affected by devastating hurricanes. The main purpose of the project is to show how hurricanes impact people living their lives. This project will include [|weather] ,science, an expert, news, safety, and a widget. It will be fun exploring the giant crazy world of hurricanes. My project will include fascinating information about these natural disasters.

[|Hurricane Hugo] is one of the most powerful and destructive Hurricanes in history. Hurricane Hugo turned west-northwest on September 15, 1989. The category four hurricane ripped through South Carolina to the Caribbean Sea, In this area[| hurricanes often happen]. Later, this hurricane turned into a [|category five] hurricane for only a brief moment. Hurricane Hugo had gusting winds up to one hundred twenty miles per hour. It hit land fall after twelve painful hours. Hugo had about eight billion dollars of damage. This devastating hurricane caused forty five deaths. It left over 100,000 people homeless. Hurricane Hugo was dreadful to lots of people.

After this terrible event, people that were in the impact zone are better prepared by storing an emergency heath kit, installing generator and safe rooms. You may also need to know your surrounding, make plans to secure your property. Some of the things that the communitys did across the Caribbean to South Carolina was listen to the radio and television for information. It is very important for communities to have access to telephones in emergencies. Land lines and cell phones are critical for communication. These are some examples of what communities have done and how people will react differently from Hurricane Hugo.
