10,000 May Need Evacuation From Ravaged Florida Keys Sam Romine

             Officials were struggling on Monday to reach Florida Keys and help many Floridians there who are without food, water or communication. The safety of the remaining residents of the Keys is in danger and should heed updates and warning from officials.

             The article was written by Elliot McLaughlin, and he writes the article from a third person perspective. The article was written September 11, 2017, which means it is fairly recent news. The topic of the article is the damage of Hurricane Irma, which devastated Florida and parts of South Carolina. It finds its way to Florida in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, which hit Houston, Texas. The knowledge that I have of the hurricanes greatly helped my understanding of the article, which is entirely about the condition of Florida. The people reading the article on the lookout for updates on the safety of any friends or family they may have in the Keys. The article is trying to tell the audience that evacuations are still needed in the Keys and it is not safe to return of leave the safety of the homes. The article is important because it notifies Floridians and people keeping tabs on their situation and safety. The document affirms the reality and danger of natural disasters and encourages people to educate themselves before making the decision of not evacuating. This article relates greatly to Hurricane Harvey, which occurred in Texas not a week prior to Hurricane Irma.
