Introduction:
I. Attention: Have you ever been in a hurricane? Well I have experienced hurricane Ivan which instead of leaving, I 've chose to stay and ride it out. Ivan swept through the Gulf of Mexico landing near the Alabama-Florida border, as a category 3 with winds of 120 mph on September 16th 2004 according to hurricanscience.org. It sounded like a freight train coming through as the winds pounded against the house. Small tornadoes whipped through which up rooted big tress and blew out windows in my area. It was a disaster area after the storm. My heart fell out my chess thinking this was my last night.
II. Reveal topic: As a survivor, I realized that I was not prepared for this hurricane and I didn 't have a lot of things like food, water, and personal items together that I needed in order to last for the coming days, or weeks after this storm.
III. Credibility: Personally having lived through this hurricane and doing some research, I have found some good information to share with you in case you find yourself stuck in a situation like I did.
IV. Preview: As I said before, I like to invite you to explore with me three ways you can better prepare yourself for a hurricane, First have a disaster kit put together, secondly you will have to seek shelter during the hurricane, and lastly after the hurricane, how you can recover from damages made by it.
