O wow this is a very serious storm, I hope no one is harmed
ReplyDeleteI agree, this storm has the capacity to create some serious damage, but thankfully, the citizens of North and South Carolina were ordered to evacuate. I feel like hurricanes are not only a test of quick evacuation skills, but also to see how fast and serious the rest of the country's reactions are. For example, if there is aid that should be sent, rescue teams, etc. There have been several natural disasters in the past, where rescue was deemed to not be needed, or where help simply didn't arrive in time.
