In the article Matthew hammers Florida, Begins Dayslong Beating of the Coast by Mike Schneider and Kelli Kennedy it talks about how there is a hurricane that is going to hit Florida, Georgia and South. And the president at the time, Barack Obama declared a state of emergency for these states and many people have moved inland to places like Charlotte, North Carolina and the issue is that there is a hurricane coming and many people were told to evacuate but many people decided not to leave and just hope for the best which isn’t the smartest thing to do in this situations because when “A family called in that the roof just flew off their home on Merritt Island,” it a clear indicator that you shouldn’t have been in the house to notice the roof fly off in the first place! It’s a hurricane for crying out loud! Get out of its path…”You need to leave, if you do not leave you will be on your own” said Mayor Curry…the pure wrath of nature should compel you to leave and you should not test it, for natural has proven time and time again that it’s unpredictable and doesn’t have a clear motif whatsoever!
<—Now this is what you shouldn’t be doing!!!!!!
With the issue of not evacuating some things that caught my eye when I was reading was he stated that “Overnight, it was scary as heck. That description of a freight train is pretty accurate. At one point it felt like the windows were going to blow even though they all were covered with plywood,” and it got me thinking because it better visualized the experience and gave me almost a dejected feelings toward the people that truly have to experience this! Another thing I would like to point out is “You know, we pray a lot and trust God to provide.” and the reason I felt compelled to really think about this is that this truly is the best way and to be honest the only way to truly be safe of a hurricane because like I stated before is that hurricanes and nature itself is unpredictable and is truly in Gods hands if he wants things destroyed or not.
This article to me kind of reminds me of the movie 2012 when people thought the world was gonna end and some people had a chance to try and escape while other people just hoped for the best, and also there were hurricanes in the movie so it basically the same as this Florida hurricane except its not the end of the world, just tearing down and flooding a small region of the earth like visualized in this picture…it’s remiss when the people just don’t do anything because i feel like they have a duty to help others and help their families at the same time get to safety
