Hurricane Harvey Research Paper
1. This article discusses the major impact of Hurricane Harvey and how it can be hazardous to people's mental health. Even if people aren't in the path of the storm, it can still cause damage to people. What can this cause? Hurricane Harvey could threaten their mental health more than their physical well-being.

2. In my opinion, I believe that any storm could make a lot of damage. However, some stories such as the article I just read can tend to be more entertaining than what it may seem. For example, this storm could be like Hurricane Katrina about 12 years ago, or it can be something compared to just a lot of heavy down pours of rain. Who's to say? It really just depends on the outlook.

Throughout the night and into the morning of September 10, Hugo had been classified as a tropical depression. As Hugo moved across the warm waters of the Atlantic it gained more and more strength.

    During these hard times where Hurricane Harvey came to Texas where people were gathering to help them out with some food or other stuff we will not be needing,things that other people might need.Many people believe that most of us can not gather as one human race, but I think that we can because there are going to be some bad stuff that is going to happen in our community and maybe thought if us people get together will not be such a bad idea because most us come together as one. In my opinion we can come as one human race because in life people will need to get together in some point. For Example, when Hurricane Irma came to Florida people were gathering up and sending food for those in need. Hurricane Irma did come with all her force and destroyed many homes but this is where we come together and maybe ask for help or maybe stay at a friends house or go to a building where there is enough room for people to stay in and that is when the community comes in together as one.…
