Produktbeschreibung
Nearly 20 years after Wilma devasted Florida, two authors made the decision to issue a report on Wilma's devastation in Pembroke Pines and Southwest Ranches, Broward Country, South Florida via pictures. In doing so, their discourse covered several hurricanes and how their countries and families battled the storms and won. One author documented hurricanes impacting her family from she was born in the 1950's up to the 1980s when she immigrated from Jamaica to Europe. The other addressed the lack of hurricanes in Brazil as she grew up until the historical Hurricane Catarina hit three states in 2004 causing tremendous damage to life and property. Other hurricane features in the book covered the hurricane category levels, the top five hurricanes to hit Florida, and details of the 2005 worst-case scenario of a relentless hurricane season in the Atlantic Basin. Wilma Wrath has been despairingly called many names such as the Hurricane from Hell, Katrina's Evil Twin, and Wicked Wilma (in this book). If you want to learn more, buy this book and reminisce on the destruction that hurricanes can cause to lives, property, and culture because of their pervasion in particular locations such as Florida. Of course, the authors ensured that the book ends on a positive note because after a storm comes a calm. Pictures depicting the rejuvenation of the community close the book chapters. The takeaway is that life can dish us some terrible things, but we are resilient people who will find ways to overcome our challenges and get back to normal even if it is a new normal.
