Disaster Strikes

Hurricane Irma in St. Thomas

There are a few things we don’t have control over, and nature is one of them. Hurricane Irma with all its force struck the island on September 6, 2017. Hannah with all her roommates gathered in the laundry room, waiting for the storm to end. The night went by and so did the hurricane, sadly, it also took away several lives with it. Those who were lucky enough to survive didn’t know whether to celebrate or cry as their whole world came crashing down in front of their eyes. The hurricane had changed the face of the island and left behind shattered windows, torn off roofs and destroyed power lines. Hannah was scared to the core by what she had witnessed, not knowing that a personal storm of her own was moments away from striking.
