Hurricane Rafael -Hadassah Lai

It started out as a tropical storm. Swirling around in the Atlantic Ocean and headed into the Caribbean Ocean, Rafael was getting bigger by the hour. Meteorologists kept a watchful eye on the storm, begging with silent words to disappear. Within days, Tropical Storm Rafael headed towards Bermuda, and within another few days it threatened Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Citizens on the coasts of these three countries had fled into the inner mainlands for safety, worrying a relapse of Hurricane Katrina would happen to them too. Only this time, they would be prepared. A few days afterwards, meteorologists were grave to deliver the news that Tropical Storm Rafael had turned into a major hurricane that could cause some serious damage. Of course, people had panicked, researching about this hurricane. They were hoping for the best but expecting the worst. The Hurricane then changed direction and headed back to its original target, Bermuda. Currently, Rafael is churning towards Bermuda and the citizens there are now getting prepared with the help of multiple warnings from the meteorologists.
