This article is about a hurricane that striked Mexico at 90 mph, 5 mph every hour and 1525 km away from the Southwest Peninsula. The hurricane was going faster after every hour and got more speed form the southwest winds. The hurricane was very devastating and destructive: it destroyed about 300 houses and killed about 130 people. After the hurricane was getting more speed every hour, the situation got even worse. The ground started cracking and giant rocks started flying in the air and aiming for houses and people. Oil got spilled and fire started to burn houses down. Most people were crushed by the giant rocks and caught on fire. When people saw this destruction, they said "this is a nightmare it just can’t be happening". Most people escaped Mexico to save themselves but some didn’t survive the escape. After the hurricane was cleared, the rescue team arrived and saved most of the people but some were already dead when the ambulance was taking them to the hospital. I really hate when this kind of disaster happens because people don’t have homes, food and clothes and they have to live on the streets or hotels. Also these types of events results in a lot of pain and deaths. I think that the scientific part of this article is the hurricane and how the air and wind move to result in one.
