Essay on a Calamity

TORNADO:

Isn’t it a terrifying word to hear & more petrifying to see or be a victim
of?
We all know what a tornado is – it is basically a calamity that destroys
life. It destroys everything – homes, fields, cattle’s, thousands of men,
animals, trees, etc.

In Khirtanpur the people had been experiencing a fierce tornado
recently.
Our school decided to take us there to help the people as a part of our
social – science project. We thought that it would be very exciting and
new to help the people but on reaching there we were shocked to see
that the people really had to bear the pain and the loss that occurred.
We realised that the natural catastrophe left a trail of destruction in
their way. My friend collapsed on seeing the human suffering and
devastation.
The electricity and telephone poles littered around. Trees were
uprooted. Cars were damaged. We saw families hanging down their
heads and letting down big tears as they some officials shifting dead
bodies. It was such a devastating tragedy which was unimaginable.
We saw people rendering homeless and crying. The uproar of people
showed their great distress. Helpless victims raised their voice for
help. Government provided many rescue forms. Helicopters threw food
packets and water. The army, paramilitary and administrative officials
were also present. The doctors and paramedic were busy disposing
the decomposed bodies.

That day we recognised the true face of nature. We saw that nature
always shows supremacy over Man. But natural calamities are partly
our own undoing. Natural calamities occur when its I gods wish, but
help is done when it is our own wish. So,

--- PLEASE HELP THE NEEDY WHILE YOU CAN !!!!
