NATURAL PHENOMENA The power of nature can be frightening. Hurricanes, tornados, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, sandstorms, floods, etc. have caused the death of many people around the world. According to scientists, all these phenomena cannot be anticipated. However, some of them develop in a slower way and give some time to people to prepare or evacuate their homes. Despite they cannot be foretold, there are places where these events are more frequent, and they tend to occur in certain seasons of the year. Although people cannot know the exact day when they are going to happen, they know in which months are more likely to take place. That period of time is called hurricane or tornado season. The way these phenomena develop and behave, as well as the type of damage they can cause, is also known. In order to prevent massive migrations when a natural event is about to happen, governments and people have come up with ways to endure them and protect their lives in situ. They have built more resistant buildings, basements, and tornado and seismic sensor alarms that give them some time to get refuge before the tornado strikes or get out of buildings before soil movement increase. There is still a lot to improve concerning how people prepare to face these situations that come along every year. Hopefully, there will be fewer casualties in the future, as new and better preventive measures are implemented.
