                 First of all, this is my first hurricane that I have ever experience in my life. I have lived through some tropical storms, but it was Maria the most difficult of all, this hurricane affected my life in an emotional way that I would never even think about it. Before the hurricane not many people were prepared for the devastation that would become Maria and we only prepared some supplies that for four family members would last at least 2 weeks.

                One thing that is funny is that during the hurricane most of the time I was asleep due to the storm’s winds, most of the time my room was cold and fresh just how I liked. I only woke up to help my father to remove some water that was entering in both my room and my brother’s room and to eat and drink my favorite juice. After the hurricane wen we exit our house to look how the rest of the neighborhood was and it was a complete disaster. But thankfully my family ant the community united to cleanup the neighborhood and also to clear the roads; I met new people and also, I discover that near my house was a family with two small children that I never met. After a few days we manage to clean all the devastation and at the end of the day we sit around eating some food from mu dad’s friend. For me at least hurricane Maria show me the importance of communities and how they are very important in our society especially in times of crisis.
