In florida this memorial day weekend, a water spout, which is basically a water tornado, was forming and it continued on to the sand, causing a bounce house to come off its stakes and fly up in the air, with children inside! The children were seriously falling out of the house 20 feet from the air and some fell on to the sand, while others sadly fell on to concrete. The bounce house landed in the middle of street after taking down a lamp post. Luckily, all children are alive, but are being taken care of in a local hospital.
This relates to APUSH, by showing how weather has affected out nation at all times. An example is the dust bowl, which was caused by an extreme drought, and affected peoples everyday lives. Weather is one of the things we can't control these days, and it just shows the power it has on our lives.

That's so sad! I''m glad all the kids are okay and hopefully we can find something to at least stay safe from the unpredictable weather.
