Weather Chronicles

Well this is the first entry in my blog; the weather today has been disastrous for any country. We have the example of Hurricane Irene in New York or just a thunderstorm in our beloved country, Guatemala. Something close to spend my last week was like this: on Sunday my dad asked me to accompany him to his basketball game that was far from my house. I like a good son agreed to accompany him. At the end of his party started back to my house, do not spend more than 5 minutes and started to rain hard. Honestly if we had a lot of visibility to 3 meters ahead. The car was passing the street like a boat in the middle of river. It was very difficult to go from there, but finally we made it. We go from town to my house and under a little rain, but when we got to my house hail began to fall. Key while the garden of my house was no longer green had a layer of hail that impressed me. The next day reading the newspaper I saw a picture of where we and look clearly how the water can throw off the walls of several industries near there. Thank God we do not pass anything. These days it has been noted far as storms and hurricanes can affect a large and a small country like ours. One such person watches movies in the cinema and television like The Day After Tomorrow and begins to think that the world does not reach such a level that will have to remove humans from the earth with a series of natural disasters that are serving in our days.

Each day that passes with the pollution that is created in each country makes our planet start charging a lot of damage that can end the world in a matter of some natural disasters such as earthquakes, acid rain, volcanoes, tsunamis and the list goes on.
 It's a little sad to see people in most need are affected by the inclement weather and the worst is that nobody takes preventive measures. Something happens in our country is that after these things happen; you begin to give courses or drills to be prepared. Why not make it possible to prevent it? Be aware that the world is changing in many ways, technology, transportation and much more. The technology is becoming more easily disposable discard it and throw away material so knowing that it takes years or even centuries to degrade. Another mine was experiencing a cell phone used to years ago had saved it. Did you think something happened to him? Nothing happened. Almost all the things that are being used today are made from recyclable material. There are few exceptions but hardly people buy them. All this makes the world begins to decay and causes a series of climatic events that threaten all humanity.

Returning to the topic of hurricanes, here in Guatemala there are some hurricanes that have been remembered, not by its magnitude, but for the damages and losses they have caused to the country. The first I remember was Hurricane Mitch hit the country with heavy rains that caused most of drains and underground systems that drain water from the collapse of the city as quickly as possible. Something happened to me in this hurricane was in those days I became ill with hepatitis. My mom took me to the doctor and when we returned to my house we caught the water on a street and the car is turned off. We spent about three hours stuck in the car waiting for the rain to stop. This took longer to stop and then we left there. I remember that the car could see the trees moving abruptly from one place to another, there was trash and leaves flying from one place to another and the rain that was dropped with a impressive strength. The second hurricane I remember was Hurricane Stan, which made the country, suffered millions in losses because most farms where crops were flooded and ruined crops. Many people lost their homes because landslides caused by strong winds. A hurricane that was also of great loss was Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans hold off guard and caused irreparable losses in that city in the United States of America. These examples have made clear that no country is immune to contingencies that make the people aware about caring for the environment and not to underestimate the force of nature.
