Topic: The Negatives Effects Of Hurricane Ike

Almost every year, there is often somewhere in the world a natural disaster. Last year, hurricane Ike ripped through Galveston and Houston, Texas, leaving devastation in its path. At the end of that terrible situation, the consequences were enormous such as damage to delivery of essential services, dangerous condition that have kept people from returning home, and an economy that has been devastated.
As after every natural disaster, damages were inestimable after that sad situation. The town was totally in darkness. As the electricity cable were damaged somewhere, the electricity supply was therefore unavailable. There were no possibility to use the Internet. Elevators were not working because of lacking of energy. In some cities, there was no more possibility to get water from the tap because the hydraulic system had been destroyed. So taking a shower, washing dishes, or doing laundry were therefore impossible. Getting drinking water was difficult since many stores were closed.
Returning home for some people after hurricane became a dream due to the fact that some houses were completely destroyed. Homeless, they did not have another choice than renting a new apartment or depending on other people. For some people, they didn't lose their house, but the flooding had damaged everything in the house. All equipment in the houses were under water including including every single document left. In some houses, the electricity system had to be rebuild because all fuses were out of use. According to experts, returning in some of those houses without revising the electricity system was pretty dangerous because the current at that moment could cause a fire.
One of the most important effect of the hurricane was the destruction of the economy. The government has to spend a lot of money , and it will take time to rebuild everything. Some public infrastructures such as schools, Hospitals have been destroyed. The government needs a lot of money to help homeless by paying their apartment, providing them with food, and helping them to find a new job. Also it has already spent a lot of money to cure injured people. Lending money to banks and other institutions that were affected will not be easy.
In conclusion, natural disaster can not be avoided in any case. Although hurricane Ike's effects on human beings are so negative such as destruction of essential services, damaged conditions for people to return home, and devastation of the economy, there is no possibility to avoid it. The only possibility that people can do is the prevention. At once experts signal its appearance, people must leave the area as soon as possible.
