Storm Hagupit by Jesse Dale

The typhoon Hagupit hit the Philippines last week. leaving mass destruction close to the capital, Manila. So far, 27 people have been confirmed dead from the storm, but officials are still looking. This storm did not kill as many people as Super Typhoon Haiyan, which killed over 7,000 people, but Hagupit still did intensive damage to the buildings and structures in the area.

This is just another example of however well we are prepared for something like this, we can never be fully prepared. while storms like this are terrible to people and their communities, I think people can always find good out of something. For example, the typhoon can help meteorologists predicts storms better by giving more data to patterns of tropical storms, which can help prepare the community better. They can also show what can be done to buildings to be built to better withstand storms. Even though many lives were lost and much damage was done, I think there can always be good out of something terrible.
