Patricia is the strongest hurricane ever recorded at the sea. Before Patricia has reached the coast of Mexico the hurricane weakened slightly. On Friday evening the storm was crushing with 165 mph sustained winds right to southwestern coast in Mexico. By 7 a.m. it had weakened to a tropical storm, with 50 mph sustained winds.
Patricia will be a strong challenge for the nation. A lot of houses, especially in rural areas are made of flimsy material. When such a heavy storm will come with a lot of rain, many families will lose everything.
Here is the Link to the whole story.
Questions:
- What would you do when you would get to know that such a heavy storm is coming right through Harlan?
- How can you help people that have lost everything because of such a storm/ hurricane?
My opinion:
I would probably try as fast as I can go out of Harlan. But when I would know that the storm only takes about a few more minutes until it will collapse with Harlan I would go in the cellar in a small room.
I can help people with spending money and cloths. You always can find something in the internet where people need your help. But you also have to take care that it is a serious website and not somebody who just wanted to get your money.

Well done Leonie!
I would go to a safe place where I know is going to stand. I 'd make sure there isn't any windows near bye or things that could fall on me. I could help by sending money to them or let them stay in my house until they are able to get a new one.
I agree, you can spend money and help them on that way.
If I knew there was such a heavy storm I would go to a safe, enclosed place with no windows, like where you would go for tornadoes. I think everyone in this world can contribute somehow, donating money or clothing items or food would be greatly appreciated to these people.
I agree with you. One of the first things is finding a safe, enclosed place to hide from the storm. Everyone really can help as you said and I think people like us they feel good and happy in their life should spend some money to people that are poor or have lose everything because of such an storm.
I would prepare for the worst and call my family and stay with them till it all blows over.
You could donate money or you could help them by giving them cloths and things that they need and help build them a new home.
I agree with you, I also would stay with my family until all the wind blows over.
I would probably prepare for it the best I could or leave the state of Iowa. I can donate money for those in need or provide them shelter.
I agree, but when you get to now it a few minutes before a hurricane will come you can't prepare that much for it I think. The only think you can prepare is that you know what to do when a hurricane comes.
