A natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from
natural processes of the Earth; examples are floods,
hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, storms, and other geologic processes.
My experience for the past 5 years is, I experienced
having flood in our area, especially a high one. I remembered when I was in Senior Highschool, Grade 12 exactly, I didn’t expect that incident because the day after the flood, I’m still hanging out with my friends. Then, before I go home, I go first in our school cafeteria to buy some food to eat. Then one of our cafeteria staff told me that I must prepare and go home safely because there will be a storm coming. At first I didn’t listen because I though that it is very impossible since our place is located at high places. Then here it goes, the night before the flood, the rain was pouring hard and the trees are swinging like it would fall instantly. I thought that I can sleep properly but I was wrong. Until hours passed, one of our neighbor told that the river is rising very fast. I didn’t listen instantly until the flood started to enter our house, that’s the time that I move rapidly. Hours passed, I have witness how flood carried some of our personal belongings to the middle of nothing but pure of muddy water caused by the flood and waited until tomorrow until it drains.
