Hurricane Sandy Observation ~ scarlett-johansson beauti pic

This week had been to craziest week I ever been through for my whole life. It was the first time that I had experience the power of a hurricane. I tried to go outside and feel how strong the wind would be, but I guess I did a stupid action that I never to do. Going outside during a hurricane is not a thing anyone would want to do. When I walk outside of my house, the wind and rain is smashing through my face, making very loud noise and the trees are blown so badly that it seen like the tree is going to fall. After 2 minute standing outside my house, my clothes are wet and when the rain hits my face it hurts, I can't take it anymore so I decided to go back into my house and made myself a cup of hot coffee.

The first day when Hurricane Sandy hits New York, I stayed home all day, I was home along since my dad went out with his friends. I watched TV, played video games and did all the stuff that I usually do during a weekend. When I saw the news saying there is no school for the next day, I thought it's going to be another great day without school, but I was wrong. During the night of the first day of Sandy, around 9 P.M. the electricity went off. It happened during the middle of my movie on my laptop, luckily my laptop is charged. The light of my house all went off. I got a little bit scared, the first thing I did was look outside my window. When I look out the window, the whole neighborhood is fill with completely darkness. Then I start seeing yellowish light coming out of some neighbor's window. I know exactly that light is the fire from the candle, I used the flashlight from my iPhone and went though the dark hallway and used the lighter to light up some candle that my dad bought earlier. Since my laptop is still on, I finished the movie that I was watching then I went to bed earlier than usual.

The second day of Hurricane Sandy, the wind and rain had stopped, I woke up around 11 A.M. knowing the electricity was off. I went to the bathroom with my flashlight, clean myself and took a nice hot shower. I feel very lucky because we still have water running in my house. My grandma called me at noon, telling me to go over to her house for lunch since the electricity is out. I went over to my grandma's house and lunch there without electricity in her house too. My cousins are there too during the lunch. After lunch, my cousins and I played poker for a while. Later on, my aunt picked the whole family up and drive over to her house in Flushing. My aunt owned a 15 floor high building in Flushing, she and her kids living in the Building for two whole floor with is huge. My uncle separates the two floor into three apartment, and every one the the apartment is huge. My family and my younger uncle's family moved into one of the apartment. I spend the whole week in my aunt's house. My cousins and I had a lot of fun there, watching NBA games, playing cards, and movie time, and had plentiful of meal.

I watched news on TV and online about the result form Hurricane Sandy. It said that a lot of place are flooded in New York and New Jersey, around 50 houses are burned down, and many death. I never know natural disaster would make such a mess to New York. The news reported that United State had lose around 30 to 50 billion of money. When I see that number coming up, I was thinking to myself that is impossible, if that money is given to me, I could never finish spending it for life. I do feel bad for those who lose their family and home, but no one can do anything for it anyway since is a natural disaster. So let us just hope people can rebuild their house soon and find their missing family members.
