September 6th Hurricane Irma hit The USVI and no one was prepared. This is the story about my hurricane experience.
The first that I heard that the hurricane was gonna hit I was just chillin upstairs playing video games and my sis walks upstairs and tells me a hurricane is going to hit us in about 5 days. At first I didn't take it seriously until I unlocked my phone and checked my hurricane app and it read WARNING: Hurricane Irma will be a category five hitting your territory in five days. Then I ran to find my parents who were actually hurricane shopping, at this point I was kinda freaking out. I went back upstairs and thought about it for a bit then I came to the conclusion to play as many online video games before the wifi went out 5 days later. The morning of the hurricane I walked down stairs and my parents started to talk to my siblings and I. My dad said the island would not look like it is for a while. I walked outside and stared at the beauty of nature walked back inside and sat. My dad started to do close the shutters, it felt like I was being locked in to prison. I started to think and at first I was happy because imagine all the days of school I would miss but then I thought again and people that wouldn't have houses. While I was thinking, my dad had finished closing the shutters. During the hurricane, to me, it didn't feel like much just a bit of wind, for half of the hurricane we had wifi but then mid hurricane I had to go play monopoly. The house started to flood so we had to start using towels to clean it. After the hurricane I walked outside and realized there was literally no leaves on the trees and that our generator was running. And from then on I get to say survived a category 5 hurricane.
