The storm blew up suddenly but no amount of imagination could have led us to expect the sheer terror and misery that the hurricane would cause. Sixty dead in the first hour-men, women, children without distinction.
Timnik
It swished and swirled as it approached. Many people looked into the distance and felt secure, still. However, it approached with a sudden vengeance. The swish and swirl turned into howls and whirls into the darkened sky. We didn’t know what was going to happen.
Robin
There was a hurricane in Guatemala that killed a million people. They all died from the merciless timult of an angry storm. Who knows how many of them had dreams for the future. Who cares? They are all dead, and for one to fathom each and every single ambition of each person is overwhelming. Death is inevitable and it smashes dreams like a hurricane.

The whirling, hurling, flailing gusts, the howl, the roar, as it approaches us. I grab you a little tighter, though it’s for my sake as well as yours, as we both fearfully stare up at the wooden hatch, bolted as securely as we could make it.

And the hurricane whips through the water. Rushing, loud, strong and its scary. In the distance you can see the swirls of water and wind. It seems unnatural, ironic. It’s the sway of the world that throughs the hurricane into motion and its the heat of the water that powers it through its destructive rampage.

the hurricane is more about what’s inside than out. the tender, unmoving center at the core of the reckless, destructive behavior.

wind raging across the land, destroying all before it. Wrecking lives and property and sweeping the world clean with raw power and thoughtless vengeance. Something to be feared, respected and revered.

It’s incredible to even concieve the notion that air alone can be so fierce as to lift a person up and send them flying.
However, that’s exactly what happens when you get caught in a hurricane.
If wind can lift a cow, a car or even a whole house, why couldn’t it lift you?
Just because air has never lifted you before doesn’t mean that it will not.
Vauhmsen
in split seconds, the whole world was blown into the air, spiraling into a thick, gray haze that spun uncontrollably.
the atmosphere of death and destruction was so great you could feel it around you.
the wind blew dust into futures, and futures to dust.
it was a hurricane.

Some winds and waters live in oceans and something spinning brings something flashing and some waves are mutated wet waters slashing down on soil and sod a ocean is beautiful.

you came on like a hurricane, and i don;t understand, and you can on through the back door, and i don;t understand. you’re all that i could need, and i’m falling on my knees, hurricane, you pulled me out of the past, and landed me in today, hurricane

I hate hurricane’s because they suck. Rawr. Rawr. I can’t write. Miaou. Miaou. Fail, Fail, Fail. I like 3 capitals in a row because they’re pretty. Maybe Capital should be Capitalized. Capitalist scum, oh no.

It was three days between when it struck land to when I learned of his whereabouts, his condition. I was three days before I learned whether or not he was alive. It was a horrible ordeal for him, a horrible ordeal for all of them. And yet I am jealous because it is something they went through together and I did not.

katrina came and i left. we had to flee the city in a relatively short period of time. it was supposed to be uncomfortable and horrible, but after a 1.5 hour car ride to the airport and a few hours waiting in the airport, i was out relatively painlessly. i arrived in seattle some 4 hours later, and for the next 3 days i was horribly stoned all day, every day. i only remember leaving fran’s apartment once, and that was to go out to eat on the day that i arrived. helluva hurricane.

The fat man in the top hat clung desperately to the palm tree as the hurricane winds plucked at him, attempting to drag him into the churning waves. The surf roared as he screamed in a surprisingly high voice as particles of sand blew everywhere.

It was bursting all over the place. The storm was brewing faster than anything we had ever seen. It was one of those natural disasters that you encounter once in your life: The day that you die. And we were sure we would die in the next thirty seconds.

The blunders of my life are fine. Fine as can be. However, their aftermath leave me rather dismayed- as if some natural force that was not mine came through and tore my heart and mind to pieces. It leaves muddy water and broken dreams in it’s wake.

it was a terrible storm, and the hurricane was gettin worse. it was like a bomb hit. all the people were leavin their housese and people were getin sept away by the floods. It was so horrible. I wish I could help but it is a hurricane. hurricanes wreck houses and we dont get them in ireland

Fuck. That could ruin a life. I want to say Katrina, but that’s in the public eye, so it’s been said 300 times before I imagine.

if i were a hurricane, i would plan my trip very carefully, so as not to harm anoyone who didn’t deserve it. i would, however, go out of my way to harm some people. think about it. people would be getting the consequences they deserve at the expense of no one…not the person who brought juststice in a violent way, but the damage is attributed to nature, and no one does a thing about it. brilliant.

Stormy, destructive. It might catch you by surprise how strong it can be. It is dark and will wipe out most of what is in it’s path.

hurricane katrina was one fucked up ass day. actually it wasnt just a fucked up day it lasted months. people drowned and died and had to leave their houses. and all the poor animals that were stranded in the homes.

There once was a hurricane that blew my mind like the seven seas that coaxed me from a full night’s rest. I was put off by my new friend, he seemingly being more than just a hurricane and something far more evil–perhaps a newt or a pussy cat. I can’t say that hurricane cats are anything anyone would want to deal with in their own life. I suspect hurricanes cause more damage.
Bob
gale force winds.
the tree blew over.
shuttered up the windows but the thunder was so loud anyway. and with the banging of the shutters we were terrified.
but only the tree blew over.
it didn’t land on the house.
others had it worse.
we were ok.
and it was kind of fun and exciting.

Storms of great ferocity have plagued sailors on the South Atlantic for centuries. Untold numbers of Spanish treasure ships never made port due to running afoul of these storms, only to be torn aprt and their cargoes strewn over the seabed, along with the bones of their crews.
Thgese storms are spawned off the African coast, where they start as a small area of loe pressure that slowly drwas energy from the warm se water and build in titanic cyclonic systems. As the storm intensifies, a clealt defined center or “eye” will form. This area of reletively calm air is surrounded by layers or “walls ” of thunder storms. The winds produced in these storms can exceed 200 miles per hour.
To rate as a hurricane, the storm must contain sustained winds of at least 75 MPH. This rates it as a “Class-1” storm. As the wind speed increases, the category increases as well, up to Cat 5 with winds above 200mph.
Powerful as the winds are, these are not the only destructive force of the storm. The eye of the storm is an area of very low barometric pressure.
Ed Brault
I can’t believe George Bush didn’t respond quickly when Hurricane Katrina hit the gulf coast. “you’re doing a heck of a job, Brownie”. Yeah right. Then the whole fiasco about Kanye West saying George Bush doesn’t like black people. Maybe he just don’t understand black people.
