What Happened to Florence ?

  Over the course of last week my university closed in preparation for Hurricane Florence's landfall . The entire coastline of South Carolina was ordered to evacuate, just to have a week of sunshine and scattered thunderstorms. I agree it's better to be safe than sorry, however the precautions taken could be deemed a little too extreme.

My Hurricane experience encompassed lots of sleep and time spent on writing new content. I also went to my high school to assist the drum line with material for the current marching season. Even though it was a considerable waste of gas, I got to spend time with old friends and my family as well.

Even though Hurricane Florence did not do much damage to my location, other areas were not as fortunate. Many parts of coastal North Carolina was torn apart by the storm's 100 mile per hour winds and catastrophic flooding.

As expected news teams were quickly on the scene detailing the effects from the storm. ABC News had a piece highlighting the 4,000 plus homes that were completely destroyed in the storm. Hurrican florence is estimated ti have created 1.8 billion dollars in damages.
