Hurricane Safety Research Paper

Over the past decade, the world has experienced more natural disaster than people can count. Floods, mudslides, earthquakes, and raging fires are just a few of the events that have stripped people away from their families, homes, and possessions. The deadliest of these natural disasters are hurricanes. Extremely strong winds mixed with large waves can cause enormous damage, taking months, even years for towns to recover. Hurricane Katrina left millions of people without homes and families torn apart. Hurricane Sandy demolished the Jersey coast, leaving years of repair work behind. The most recent and powerful hurricane that surfaced is Hurricane Maria. A level five hurricane, Hurricane Maria ripped straight through the United States territory of Puerto Rico. The island lost power, supplies

Jacob Portman, a 16 year old boy, was very close to his grandfather as a child. His grandfather would show him pictures of strange people and places, and would tell Jacob fascinating stories about them. One particular story was about an old orphanage full of "peculiar" children, who all had something special, or peculiar, about them. He believed these stories as a child, but his father convinced him they were all just part of his grandfather's imagination. One day at work, however, Jacob received a distress call from his grandfather saying that "they" were here. Jacob rushes to his grandfathers house with the hopes of calming him down, and sees that the house was trashed. He eventually found his grandfather in the woods. He was near dead and

Hurricane Irma was the strongest hurricane observed in the Atlantic since 2007. Hurricane Irma hit Florida as a Category 4 storm and was so strong it ripped off roofs, caused floods, and knocked out more than 6.8 million people's power. Its winds have been recorded to be 185 miles per hour. The storm killed at least 34 people in Florida, 38 in the Caribbean, and 4 in North Carolina. Hurricane Irma also caused food and water to become scarce, hospitals and health clinics to struggle, and schools to be closed. Lots of people lost homes to Hurricane Irma, and it has proved to be a tragic event.

As Hurricane Irma passes through the Caribbean leaving death and destruction in its wake the Governor of Florida, Rick Scott, has told the residents of Florida "If you have been ordered to evacuate, you need to leave now. This is your last chance to make a good decision," (Park and Levenson). President Trump and Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA, Administrator, Brock Long, are also urging citizens in Florida to evacuate before it is too late, because Irma is not slowing down in fact it’s speeding up. Irma could possible become a Category 4 Hurricane. Not only do all these people have implied credibility, but just by looking at route of the Hurricane and its strength shows that people should evacuate because staying could result in death.

I have been interested in natural weather disasters from a young age. I had my mom read me weather books for my bedtime story. In my engineering & architecture class, we have to write a senior thesis and I chose to make a "hurricane-proof" house. I chose to make a "hurricane-proof" house because of Hurricane Sandy. I live in Maine so Hurricane Sandy knocked down a few trees and power lines. It wasn't bad at all, but as we got power back I saw on the news how hard it had hit New Jersey.

I have always found the ocean to be a very intriguing part of the Earth. There are infinitely many discoveries that have yet to be made about it. My fascination with the ocean sparked the idea to do my class paper on hurricanes and what they are along with their effects. I remember hearing about all the damages from Hurricane Katrina after it hit the coast near New Orleans. The only information I really know about them is what is briefly covered on the news. I thought it would be interesting to discover the true effects they can have on not only people that endure them, but also the environment as it gets ripped to shreds by the plethora of winds and water.

On the 11th September 2001, Islamic activists, associated with Al-Qaeda, hijacked 4 planes and carried out their planned suicide bombings across the US nation. Two planes had crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Centre in New York City, one had unfortunately hit the Pentagon, close to Washington D.C., while the final plane exploded in Pennsylvania. Almost 3,000 people had lost their lives due to the tragic attacks. This had a massive impact on the world as well as the way the world leaders viewed terrorism. States therefore felt the need to take action by increasing anti-terrorism legislation, which is believed to have let to the shift of US foreign policy, which has been criticised as having an effect on world politics today.

This section of the essay focuses on the relation between Macbeth and King James' actual life, analyzing the characteristics of playwriting during the 17th century.   The section begins with a heavy focus on King James and how he was “nervous, deeply nervous” due to the murder of both his parents and failed assassination attempt that almost killed him. Greenblatt explains that this information is important as he highlights how Shakespeare uses this fear to his advantage, by creating scenes that reassure the King and gain his favor. Macbeth indirectly reinforces the King through the depiction of his strong lineage instead of direct flattery or directly telling the story of how the King foiled his own assassination attempt, because the representation
