Hurricane Harvey

I read an article about the recent flooding in Texas by the New York Time called Hurricane Harvey: The Devastation and What Comes Next. Some parts of Texas have received up to fifty inches of rain and some cities are underwater. The dangers of the flooding are not just drowning but, displaced wildlife, sewage water, and broken objects that you cannot see. At least 39 people have died including a mom who was found with her three year-old son holding on to her. Help in Texas is going to come slow.
     Some people are making an effort to help out others by turning their stores into shelters. Even J.J. Watt, who plays for the Texans in the NFL, is helping out. He raised over 18.5 million dollars, which is more than his salary. Louisiana experience something similar last year. Hurricane Harvey can tear a house apart but it can bring a community together.

  1. Great post, your use of details and descriptions throughout your paragraphs was really good. I like how you used details and adjectives to describe the effects!
