In “Strong
cyclone lashes India; typhoon hits Japan”, Shfeeq discusses a cyclone hitting
India and typhoon hitting Japan (4).
The cyclone in India had sweep through killing six people and causing
damages to the crops and buildings (Shfeeq 4).
”The storm also wrecked communication services and the electrical
supplied in the region” (Shfeeq 4).
According to Shfeeq, Japan had at least 35 people injured from the typhoon
(Shffeq 4). Winds from the typhoon were
up to 110 mph and the cyclone in India had winds of 120 mph (Shfeeq 4). Authorities told the people on the island of
Kyushu and coastal areas of Andhra Pradesh to evacuate (4). U.S military told islanders on Okinawa to
stay indoors until strong wind and rain settle (4).
I am surprised that this event is similar to the Eruption on
Mount Ontake. In both events, the
community lost their homes and some lost their love ones. This recent unexpected natural disaster
effected many families in different locations of the world. I am shocked there were two natural
disasters occurring simultaneously; one in India and one in Japan. Winds of 110-120 affected both countries in
different locations. It must be very
difficult when you have to evacuate your home because of a storm or the threat
of a possible storm. I am sure that the
government will assist the community after these tragic events but it is not
the same when you have to leave your home with all of your personal
belongings. In addition, each event
resulted in the unexpected death or love ones.
I would hate to be a part of a natural disaster that resulted in the
death of a loved one or someone I know.
Have you lived through a natural disaster or know someone who has experienced
something similar?
