That day came sooner than expected. My student picked a oad from south texas to the Los Angeles area. He made an excellent choice except for one reason. That reason was that load couldnt deliver early, adn it gave us a week to go just 1400 miles. We had disacussed those thigs before, but he made a mistake and we dealt with it. How, well we stayed in south texas for three days, partying at night across the border in Mexico, and sleeping it off at the terminal each day. Then we left for California. This was his trip, and I was just a buddy riding with him. He called all the shots, you know, where and when to get fuel, meals, breaks, and all the rest. WHe said he was ready, but he failed. WHy did he fail, because he was doingquite well until we

My family moved to Texas changed how I viewed or felt about my how much family is important to me. When we first started packing for them to go to Texas they helped us pack to move too.We all had to do a lot because we had to do theirs and ours.

Our natural hazard is a hurricane. They can go up to 70 to 200 miles per hour wind speed. Each hurricane lasts up to about a week. They are huge storms that run on water. They are able producing to about 200 times of the world's electricity. Hurricane winds can rip off roofs, blow out windows and flatten buildings. and they’re notorious for making deadly weapons out of random debris. Hurricanes can also make tornadoes, which have even stronger winds. They create sink holes. There have been many hurricanes some worse than others. One of the worst hurricanes to ever occur was Hurricane Galveston.

I stared blankly out the window, then to my family, then the box that sat right in front of me. “Aren’t you going to open your present?” Usually I’d tear into the paper and reveal the item that I longed for, but I honestly could care less what I got. This family Christmas celebration was a little different, and I really had to make it count. This was just days before we had to make our trek to the great state of Texas. Thoughts about the move raced through my mind, going from California to Texas would definitely be a big change.

Hurricanes are one of the most disastrous weather events that can occur here on earth. The results can be very powerful and impact everyone who encounters one but it is much harder when the event happens to you. On September 20, 2008, Hurricane Ike passed through Galveston and ripped one of the most important places to me.

THESIS STATEMENT: One of nature’s most powerful and destructive storms are hurricanes. Although they can be deadly to humans and animals and have been known to cause extensive destruction, they also play a very important and beneficial role on Earth.

Hurricanes and Tornadoes are two of the deadliest natural storms that occur in the Earth’s atmosphere. These storms have a plethora of impacts to the majority of the human life that come in contact towards both storms. Many people have a common misconception and think that the storms are extremely similar, regardless with the fact of the vast amount of differences present. While both tornadoes and hurricanes cause hazardous natural disasters, a study of each storm reveals the various ways communities can prepare for a storm or deal with the aftermath. There are many similarities between hurricanes and tornadoes, hence why majority of the human population tends to get the two storms confused.

Hurricanes are one of nature’s most natural occurrences and intense phenomenal storms. Yet, as phenomenal as they are, they are still one of the deadliest and disastrous natural occurrences that continue to plague costal residents with fears of their homes being destroyed, their towns wiped out, and loved ones either disappearing or dying.

Numerous people would agree that tornadoes and hurricanes are both dangerous and frightening. They may occur almost any time and produce severe damage and injury. The two storms may have days’ worth of notice, however on other occasions, there’s no notice at all. We call these storms, natural disasters, geohazards, and even state of emergencies. These catastrophic occurrences cause distress in people residing in the storms general vicinity. While, tornadoes and hurricanes are very similar because of their high winds and ability to do extreme damage, they are tremendously different.

Did you know that Hurricanes have killed approximately 1.9 million people worldwide over the past 200 years. (Karen lenhardt said in her 2017 article on facts about hurricanes). We are seeing more and more of these occur, this year we have already encountered 13 named storms, 7 of them being hurricanes. Only four other seasons since 1995 have had that many by Sept. 18. Just two more by the end of the year would put 2017 in the top 15 since 1851. Maggie Astor stated in her New York Times news report about the 2017 Hurricane season . We must take notice and learn about the hurricane process so that we are able to understand the stages that hurricanes go through to get to be so fierce and devastating to get the strength to kill that many people.

Hurricanes, Earthquakes, and Forest fires are causing maximal damage to the planet we live in. They are destroying homes, cities, and families. As people that love this planet, we should know more about our earth and how natural disasters affect us. In the World, Hurricanes have been a big problem lately and you should care because we need to be aware of what is happening around us and how they are affecting the people we love.

Throughout the nation, natural, technological, and man-made disasters jeopardizes communities as a whole. Many people rely on their local communities emergency preparedness plans, while they should be utilizing their knowledge, information provided for them, and using their capabilities to ready themselves and their families. The outcome that can come from any disastrous event mainly relies on how you respond to the specific threat, and the steps one takes to minimize the risks of such a scenario. Being from Florida, I have been subject to several types, and forms, of disasters; but the most common and the one that can pose one of the greatest threats is the tropical cyclone, also known as the hurricane. When concerning this

Hurricanes over the past years have made landfall in the United States, causing billions of dollars in damage, leading to massive evacuations and leaving devastated cities to rebuild. In the

The U.S. Government isn’t doing enough to protect the coastal cities that are flood prone when hurricanes hit these areas. They need to be aware of the current damage that hurricanes do to the coastal cities and realize how much worse it will get soon because of global warming. “Under Water” by Kate Sheppard explains how this need in neglected by the U.S. Government.
