Today I was finally able to go back to work things are not the same as before but it finally stopped raining. Recently Hurricane Lis struck San Francisco along with the rest of the Bay area. I was watching the news where they were saying this was one of the most dangerous hurricanes to hit the bay with winds going up to 100 mph as well as at least 6 feet of rain has flooded homes. Since I live right next to the ocean all the waves came towards us and by the time they gave a hurricane warning it was to late to leave the city. As I walk outside there are trees on top of cars, homes and streets are still flooded, and there was no electricity for a few days. I got lucky that I live in a two story house since my first floor flooded all my furniture was ruined and as I walk outside homes were destroyed. I saw clips of homes literally floating away and animals being rescued from the storm. As I was looking outside through the window when the hurricane had began I noticed a stray cat outside trying to get away from the rising waters so I went outside and was able to bring him back inside. I was barely able to get in contact with my family who are not from here just to let them know that I am okay and the damage that hurricane Lis caused in the bay area. I don’t know when things will go back to normal but I hope this all goes away soon.
