The Tornadoes of Tuesday

The world is off track. It is not in order. That’s what many of you would say. I agree. The tornadoes rip through the Memphis area and tore down much of everything in some streets of Hickory Hill. Even the legendary Hickory Ridge Mall was affected in the storm. The weather left people out of school and left people without power. They expect the power outage to be up to 3 weeks. I was affected in the storm, even though the storms didn’t hit where I reside at in Germantown but my parents stay in short walking distance to the mall. The area looks bad and deserted. Hickory Hill had already had a problem with its image and Hickory Hill that was the wake up call. Memphis wasn’t affected in the storms. Many other cities and states were affected such as Alabama, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Mississippi. There were 33 known deaths thus far. The tornadoes are just a far beginning to the chain of storms. Many other states are receiving excessive snow and water causing some areas to be flooded and some area to be snow- in. The chain of storms seems to look like the movie, “The Day After Tomorrow”. It’s strange but the actualization was much softer than the movie. I watched that movie to take the necessary precautions because the movies signifies and shows us how America will be damage but it own people. I would go into detail but there is no need. The tornadoes affected my work and my job. I had to take time that day to hide with my service recipients to make sure they were safe and unharmed. I cant really explain what is going on in Memphis and America and that God’s doings and America should consider that as a wake up call! 302 words
