How Do hurricanes affect humans?
Written by: KAtelyn Dockery
"Hurricane Sandy killed more than 50 people and affected hundreds of thousands of people when it went through Haiti on October 25, 2012. Heavy rains and wind caused rivers to overflow and flood neighborhoods, damaging roads and buildings, including homes, schools and hospitals."
"Many, more than 27,000 homes have been damaged or destroyed by floodwater. Hundreds of thousands of people are in need of food, drinking water and shelter. Haiti is still in turmoil from Tropical Storm Isaac, which hit in August 2012, and the 2010 earthquake."
By this account of hurricane Sandy, you can tell how catastrophic hurricanes are. Not only can they harm and even kill humans. They harm our homes and buildings. They can harm our animals and the land surrounding us. Let's pretend your house is near the coast and you are on vacation. While you are gone, a hurricane occurs right by your house. When you come back, imagine all of your belongings scattered, destroyed, and lost in the chaos.
Imagine how devastating it would be. That is exactly what happens to people that undergo a hurricane.
