Hurricane Period In Florida

I wrote this report very last year when hurricanes after hurricanes pounded Florida.

It is the hurricane period. This 12 months the time has turned ugly for the condition of Florida. “There are no seasons in Florida”, they say. But we can now say there are two distinct seasons in Florida: Hurricane year and Non-hurricane year.

We moved to this point out past yr from texas. When I joined the VA clinic as software package engineer I was quite surprised to hear that we had to go to
two necessary hurricane safety class. It had us apprehensive for a while. But all we got last calendar year was sunny skies all the time and some rain. We did not come across any motive to worry. We pretty much took to the words that puppies that barks does not chunk.

But this year! Oh boy! What a variation a calendar year make? It was more intricate by the simple fact that hurricanes tended to appear our way whenever I am out of city. It was terrible sufficient to get downsized from a federal government job. Right after six weeks of seeking, I was equipped land a position in Omaha, NE. I was psyched to have this task for the reason that it associated travelling and that intended regular flyer miles. It was commencing to be fun. But within just a couple weeks, came the information of hurricane Charlie
which headed specifically towards in which I reside. I felt pretty worried for my wife. I
begun frantically contacting my good friends inquiring for assist. But fortuitously, when the dust settled, there was no problem at all for us, because Charlie improved path greatly and headed towards Disneyland. It was a great sigh of relief for me. Having said that, it was not so for some people today in Punte Gorde. It was also not fantastic working experience for a single of my buddies who was also downsized alongside with me and took a occupation in Fort Myeres. He had sister residing there.

They made the decision to pack
and go to a hotel among their houses so when the storm was absent they can transfer to whichever dwelling will be in improved form. But Charley determined to
ignore the two their houses and headed straight to the lodge they took shelter in.

The lodge was badly ruined, but they have been fantastic as they huddled all of them collectively in the closet. When they arrived out and uncovered what experienced occurred they could not be overjoyed. Each individual of their properties were being left in tact. No scratch, no dent.

Hurricane Charley was followed by Frances whose spreadth covered the overall state of Florida but was not of wonderful intensity. Then arrived Ivan. Ivan was intended to be pretty intense and unsafe. But ‘Ivan the terrible’ drifted westward and last but not least struct the coastline of Alabama. This also occurred when I was however travelling to Omaha.

I can understand the stress faced by my hapless wife or my good friend and his spouse and children. But I do not get why individuals have to panic and have any issues at all to get out of harm’s way. In today’s technology, they get warning far in advance.

It is also ironical that all vacationer are welcome in Florida except hurricanes? Why cannot they not check out florida? Immediately after all, they do a superb position of cleaning up debris. If people today are careful and have some regard to the mom mother nature, the human toll can be almost non-existent. We can not emphasize adequate that there is no will need to be hero, no need to have to remain in entrance of a functioning coach unless you perform for CNN! Variation concerning with them and you is uncomplicated. They are in front of a camera and you are not! So no one will occur to know if some thing strikes you and you drop or die until it is way too late!

This also obtained me contemplating. Can we not make use of the big resource of vitality in some way? The way oil charges are heading upward and the prospect of international power disaster looming, one particular can not have an understanding of how this substantial resource of power be disregarded. We can location several windmills alongside Florida shoreline. When the hurricane will come ashore, the windmills starts churning and develop energy. A person can possibly retail outlet the electrical power or just promote it hapless international locations like Cuba.

But what will come about the no hurricane arrives this way. Like ‘Ivan’ made the decision to dodge Florida altogether and headed for the uninteresting condition of Alabama. I feel hurricanes can be lured as properly just as individuals can be. They can set symptoms of Disneyland and many other sites of amusement on the sea (utilizing the electricity generated by people windmills). This could support wayward ships or the desparate cubans who are hoping to arrive to United states on a boat or sometimes just a log.

I am deeply saddened by the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. My
ideas and prayers are with the victims. I hope they arrive out
of their distress shortly. If you want to donate please go to
