Hurricanes: a force to be reckoned with
I'm sure you have all heard about the category five hurricane, which started off in the Caribbean. It was a tragic incident, which has caused death and has destroyed both the environment and people’s homes. Unfortunately, we cannot prevent these sorts of events from happening, as this is an act of nature.
Throughout the week of its duration the hurricane moved to the Caribbean island, including Antigua, Barbuda, St Martin, Anguilla, St Barts, US Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands. Gradually the storm went to other countries, like Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Turks, Caicos Islands, Cuba, The Bahamas, Florida, Miami and The USA; this dramatic hurricane does not stop here.
Hurricane Jose followed soon afterwards, becoming the longest-lived Atlantic hurricane since 2012, with Hurricane Nadine. Though it didn’t actually hit the shore, it still brought tropical storm-force winds to coastlines in the Caribbean.
Storms seem to be becoming increasingly more frequent, and some have devastating impacts: is this due to global warming? Are we, in fact, partially to blame?
