Disasters

Authors Note: I wrote about natural disasters because I believe that natural disasters are not paid enough detention too and we should give the people that have experienced this a helping hand to rebuild there community and make it a stronger community to live in. And I believe that if we all work together we can make this world a better place to live. 



 In the 1960’s the most divesting earthquakes hit Valdivia, Chile. It was on the powerful earthquake ever recorded. Over 6,000 people were killed. 40% of the houses were raised from the ground. The earthquake measured at a 9.5, and 35 ft waves were recorded 6,000 miles away.

 But this one of the many terrible natural disasters ever recorded but there much more. Natural disasters are the effect of a natural hazard. An example of a natural disaster is a tornado, hurricane, earthquakes, or landslide. The effect of a natural disasters most likely cause financial burdens on the country and human population decreases.

Another natural disaster that was very eventful was hurricane Katrina. It left thousands of people homeless. This disaster destroyed many homes in New Orleans. Although this chaos happened 6 years ago it still affects people every day.
The winds gusted through the city going at the category of 3 ranges with a frequent intense gust of wind. The sudden experiences of wind happened throughout the city. Over 80% of New Orleans was flooded. This was a very depressing time but together we can make the world a better place.
