Have you ever been on holiday & found yourself in the middle of a natural disaster? When you are planning a trip you seldom think of things like that happening.
This was, but, the situation that my family & I found ourselves in on our trip to Florida about a month ago, and my pal and I saved for the trip for nearly two years & my kids were really looking forward to seeing the famed amusement parks there.
My pal and I were all settled in & had really enjoyed our first three afternoons there when the weather turned rainy & a bit cooler. My pal and I hadn’t really been seeing the news but I turned it on to see what the next few afternoons would be like. It was then that I learned that a tropical storm was headed right for us & they said that it could change to a hurricane before making landfall, all I could think of was the fact that my friend and I would be stranded separate from power on the twentieth floor of a hotel. That would mean that my friend and I would have no lights & worse yet, no air conditioner. The windows of the hotel didn’t even open & I knew it would be agitated. I actually considered asking the family to give up the rest of the holiday however knew that they would object. My pal and I had our accommodations booked for another ten afternoons & the weather would pass long before that. I didn’t sleep a wink for the next two afternoons because I was dreading the incoming storm. It turned out that the worst of it only caused the park to close for a few hours & it moved off separate from too much harm. This was a large relief & my friend and I were able to care about the rest of the trip.
