~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Surviving a hurricane can be challenging for all persons subjected to its fury. For some, however, the stress of losing everything or having to evacuate may have long-lasting consequences on mental and physical health! There are always a variety of reactions to an oncoming hurricane that indicates stress. Some people can be observed frantically boarding up windows and placing sandbags to mitigate rising water levels. Some people can be seen stocking up on supplies because of their boldly-stated refusal to leave their home. Others, however, can be seen packing things and trying to figure out where they are going to evacuate to! In most observations, the questions that comes to mind would be, "Do I have the resources to board up and protect my home so I can stay here and ride-out this storm?" Or, some may think, "Yeah, leave, evacuate. Just where are we to go with no money or family to run to?" These reflections add fuel to the fire of stress.

Coping with the unknowns of hurricane storms and its related stress is challenging. Some people find family members to "hunker down with" so they know their family is together should things go awry!
