Hurricane Matthew
The news had made it seem like it was the end of the world when Hurricane Matthew came rolling in across the coast or the Caribbean, Haiti, and the Southern tip of the United States. I called my grandma the day before they said it was supposed to hit, the day before they wanted to evacuate everyone within a 50 mile radius of the coast. Due to the high winds reported and the anticipated damage that category 5 hurricanes seem to bring us. The elements of the storm consisting of 157+ mph winds, and the most sever conditions known to man. My grandma told me that all of her neighbors were evacuating to their family members houses scattered around the country. I wanted to be there to help her or to be able to be able to do something to help. My grandma is older and needs help more with everyday stuff, regardless of what she tells you. She then proceeds to tell me that she's going to stay with some friends over in Kissimmee and that made me feel better. Since my grandma had always calmed me down during storms when I was little, I thought it would be nice if I could comfort here and she would always sing me "Rain rain go away" song and the skies always seemed to clear up. It was my favorite.

I think it is really cute that your grandma comforted you during storms by singing. I know how you feel my aunt lives down south and I was worried about her too. I don't think anyone knew how extreme this storm was. It made it as far in as Louisiana and part of Virginia. I wish there was something we could do to help the recovery of those effected by the hurricane.
