It was a dark and stormy night, and the wind was howling outside.

During the hurricane, the wind was blowing strongly, and there was too much rain falling incessantly. The sound of the wind was deafening, and the water began to flood the streets.

As the hurricane progressed, the situation became increasingly dangerous and people realized that there was not enough time to adequately prepare.

There were too many people hurt, there wasn't enough medical equipment. People who had cut their heads off, people had broken noses, people had broken arms.

People were running back and forth, trying to save their household items, clothes, perfume, jewelry, so many things.

Meanwhile, emergency services were working tirelessly to help people trapped in their homes and evacuate those living in high-risk areas.

My family lives in this community and they lost everything.

As the hurricane forecasters warned it could be one of the strongest or perhaps largest in the history of the region called Iota. People prepared as best they could, but many were unable to escape the devastation that the hurricane left in its wake. I was very afraid, I was helpless that I couldn't help much more.

The hurricane also destroyed the place where I work, Gildan. My friends were worried during the hurricane years ago.
