In this article, Hurricane Ian was described. The after effects were/are traumatic and devastating. There were specific stories shared in the article about how a family in Fort Myers, Fl lost absolutely everything. A couple of  elderly men were also known to take their own lives after witnessing their losses, according to the article. The author then moves on to talking about the death toll of at least 100 people in South West Florida. Hurricane Ian was speculated to be the worst storm that has ever hit South West Florida. Society reacted in devastation and shock. Everything was gone for a multitude of people. Tensions were very high, and everyone was on alert about how to move forward. There was also a positive twist to the storm, which was the communities coming together. People were generous in helping, donating, and rebuilding. I think that for many people involved in this situation it was a death denying society due to the natural disaster being so powerful and destructive. This is a topic that hits close to home for me because I lived through hurricane Ian as I live in Cape Coral, which was also directly hit. Being from Iowa, I never understood the affects these types of storms can have on the affected communities. It was very scary, a lot of basic necessities were unavailable (water, power, work, gas, etc), which made the stress creep in about being in the unknown. The stories of the tragedies during the stoThe 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fire happened on April 18, 1906, and it was one of the deadliest earthquakes in the united states too date. the Earthquake itself only lasted less than a minute but the magnitude of it and the buildings not being structures that could withstand this size of earthquake caused buildings all around to crumble and catch on fire, these fires broke out all across the city and burned for 3 days. They estimated 3,000 deaths and more than 400,000 people were displaced and without shelter or homes. Congress stepped in to help the city by giving money for food, shelter, and water and helping them rebuild the structures that were lost and businesses being reimbursed for such tragedies that could not have been prevented at the time. I believe that this was an eye-opening experience for something like a natural disaster to be so deadly and so havoc wrecking. We seem to be more sympathetic and less death-denying when it comes to natural disasters over man-made situations. rm and storm clean up were very gruesome and shocking. 2. Social SciencePsychology
