Tornado in Gloucester

                  A tornado has happened on 2011 Gloucester. On the night of April 16, a tornado creating winds up to 165 miles per hour bounced across Gloucester, sowing an 8-mile path of destruction that left two residents dead. Three people have died and at least 60 people were injured in gloucester county after a tornado after the tornado ripped the area. The three deaths were reportedly in the town of coke near Hickory Fork Road. None of the fatalities were in the same family or were in the same homes Gloucester County sheriff Steve Gentry said in a news conference. Some homes in Hickory Fork Road were destroyed, and the hospital in Gloucester County is overflowing. Most of the people who were hurt suffered minor injuries. Tornadoes that strike in this region tend to be short lived waterspouts that reach land or the short spin up cells spawned by summer thunderstorms. "To have on stay on the ground that long around here is definetly rare," Proch said. My reaction to this tornado situation is that it is very sad for people to die like this. This story made me think about the hurricane in New Orleans where it messed up the whole city. They would make funding available for homeowners and renters in the form of disaster housing assistance and low-interest loans and grants.Also hazard mitigation assistance to help local an state and governments work to reduce the impact of future disasters by modifying or remove structures from a hazard area conducting public education campaigns and restoring wetlands and managing soil erosion.
