Hurricane

Hurricane

Era: Modern Era (September 1-2, 2005)

Three views of a similar tragedy.

Dedication: To the survivors of hurricane Katrina. May relief and help come swiftly, and the rebuilding begin shortly…

Author’s note: It’s amazing how one event changes a nation. I’ve decide to do this one in honor of all the property damaged and all the lives lost. This will be done in three different views, as you shall see, and the three views will be unusually similar.

(Tuxedo Rainbow’s View)

I had a weird dream a few days ago. I dreamed that a super hurricane swept across the globe, destroying all it touched. No one believes me. I wake up today, and find out that a hurricane has hit Louisiana a few days ago. The loss of property and life in that state and others nearby is staggering, not to mention the loss of life.

I hear that New Orleans was flooded. Looting is rampant. Even the famed Super Dome was hit, even though people were inside. I wish I could help, but I am in trouble as it is already.

Gas prices in the Northeast just hit over three dollars a gallon, and I wonder how I am going to fill up my car, must less go to work next week. Terra says that the MTA nearly shut down.

My medicine I need cost me nearly four times as much. I wish I could give, but I cannot. What effects one area affects us all, I see.

I feel the pain of those who are without insulin, or who are poor, for I am poor, but have insulin. I wonder how they can survive, much as I wonder how I can survive.

I hate the way the news is spinning this into a race issue. It makes me mad. Even making it a poverty issue ticks me off. If an earthquake hit California, would people talk about those who were looting?

I didn’t think my dream would come true, but it looks like the northeast is going to get hit in the pocketbook real soon.

Terra, I wish I could help, but we are trying to make due. Please, pray for them. I wish I could help.

I had to tell Tempestt about hurricanes and about property loss and death. A six-year old doesn’t need to know these things. She thinks she could have helped.

Tux had a weird dream a few days ago. He dreamed that a super hurricane swept across the globe, destroying all it touched. I didn’t believe him. I wake up today, and find out that a hurricane has hit Louisiana a few days ago. The loss of property and life in that state and others nearby is staggering, not to mention the loss of life.

I hear that New Orleans was flooded. Looting is rampant. Even the famed Super Dome was hit, even though people were inside. I wish we could help, but we are in trouble as it is already.

Gas prices in the Northeast just hit over three dollars a gallon, and I wonder how Tux is going to fill up his car, must less go to work next week. I said that the MTA nearly shut down.

Tux’s medicine that he needs cost him nearly four times as much. I wish we could give, but we cannot. What effects one area affects us all, I see. I know Tux knows this as well.

I feel the pain of those who are without insulin, or who are poor, for I am poor. I used to be rich. I wonder how they can survive, much as I wonder how we can survive.

I hate the way the news is spinning this into a race issue. It makes me mad. Even making it a poverty issue ticks me off. If an earthquake hit California, would people talk about those who were looting? If the government shut down, would they complain?

I didn’t think his dream would come true, but it looks like the northeast is going to get hit in the pocketbook real soon. I wish it didn’t happen, but it did.

Tux, I wish we could help, but we are trying to make due. Please, pray for them. I wish we could help.

My dad had a weird dream a few days ago. He dreamed that a super hurricane swept across the globe, destroying all it touched. I didn’t believe him. I wake up today, and find out that a hurricane has hit Louisiana a few days ago. The loss of property and life in that state and others nearby is staggering, not to mention the loss of life.

I hear that New Orleans was flooded. Looting is rampant. Even the famed Super Dome was hit, even though people were inside. I wish I could have helped, but we are in trouble as it is already. If I had known, I could have helped. But what about my real identity?

Gas prices in the Northeast just hit over three dollars a gallon, and I wonder how dad is going to fill up his car, must less go to work next week. Mom said that the MTA nearly shut down.

Dad’s medicine that he needs cost him nearly four times as much. I wish we could give, but we cannot. What effects one area affects us all, I see. I know dad knows this as well. I can see that as we drive.

I feel the pain of those who are without insulin, or who are poor, for I am poor . I wonder how they can survive, much as I wonder how we can survive.

I hate the way the news is spinning this into a race issue. My parents told my about this. It makes me mad. Even making it a poverty issue ticks me off. If an earthquake hit California, would people talk about those who were looting? If the government shut down, would they complain?

I didn’t think dad’s dream would come true, but it looks like the northeast is going to get hit in the pocketbook real soon. I wish it didn’t happen, but it did. I wish I could have helped, but I cannot.

Mom, Dad, I wish we could help, I wish I could have helped, but we are trying to make due. Please, pray for them. I wish we could help.

Mom and dad about hurricanes and about property loss and death. I don’t need to know these things. I know I could have helped, but I also know that a superhero can’t be everywhere at once. Maybe if I had one of my fainting spells, I could have seen these events.

There are some storms that even I cannot stop. In the future, I will be there to stop them. I am the coming storm, I am the wind and the lightning. I am the Tempestt, and I will be ready for the next hurricane.
