Survivor Narrative
Introduction
In a span of nearly one month, a number of American States underwent a traumatizing period due to a natural cause and happening that had not been planned for but had been foreseen in quite a short period. Notably, the natural destruction was caused by a hurricane that hit the American States that were on the shore as from 30th August 2017 to 13th September on the same year (Doe & Piotrowski, 2019). Commonly referred to as the Hurricane Irma, the hurricane hit two members’ states harder as compared to others, namely Florida and Georgia. Hurricane Irma is the most powerful Atlantic storm and is said to have a history by hitting Haiti, Cuba and the Bahamas, killing fourteen citizens as it ripped through the Caribbean (Issa et al, 2018). Particularly, Atlantic storms are defined and characterized into categories. The hurricane Irma fell under category 5 Hurricane, Category 1 Hurricane and Category 4 Hurricane all (SSHWS).
