Hurricane Irene’s Effects

Tree broken from the roots

Tree broken and cut up

When I was walking by my college one day, I looked across the street and saw this. A tree was pulled from the ground and took its roots along with it. The winds must have been pretty strong to bring this tree down. When you look closely,  you can see how big the roots are and how far it was pulled out.  The tree was was later cut into small pieces and moved so it doesn’t get in the way of the street and the side walk.

Later when I visited the same place a few hours later, the tree was gone. Good thing I took a picture before they removed it.

After a daily fast, one breaks his fast during Iftar time, or feast.

During Eid, many people travel to the Mosque to pray. Where I live, there are too many people around the area to fit in one Mosque. So they decided to hold the prayer to the nearest High School’s field. There were as many as a thousand people in one field. Maybe even more.

The hurricane still managed to kill almost 19 people.
