Hurricanes and the American People It has been two tragic weeks for the American people. After the hurricane Harvey in Texas the United States will once more be plagued by another hurricane, Irma, this time in Florida. I just can look at all this from afar now that I'm back in home country, but after I spent one year in the United States studying I created a connection with this country full of wonder. It was just one year, but the connection is strong. I was able to see how the American people strive everyday to build the country they have and it made a strong impression on me. I know that this kind of disaster is horrible, but I think it will not make the American people even budge, they will overcome this as always, with the sense of unity and duty that I saw with my own eyes in every American person I met. Even from afar I pray for Texas and Florida and also for the people in the Caribbean Islands, that they also can overcome this and let them know that they are not alone in this. Keep strong Texas! Keep strong Florida! Keep Caribbean Islands! Keep strong!
