The Floods in children eyes
Cyclone in Orissa, October 1999
I used to live in a small town in Orissa near Paradip. The cyclone destroyed a lot of villages and towns. We had no
electricity or water for days. Till today I do not know where my parents are! I was saved because a helicopter sent for relief
work brought me to Delhi. I don't have any money. I stay with some relatives. I miss my parents a lot and I hope that they are safe.

Some countries are hit by Floods every year. This happens when there is too much rainfall.
The rivers are full of water and break through the embankments.
Thousands of people die, children are orphaned and become homeless. Property worth thousands of dollars is damaged.
The San Andreas Fault
I was on a sightseeing spree in L.A. Suddenly I heard a noise. I turned and saw the ground shaking and all the people ran.
Wires short circuited and fires broke out all over the city followed by the Earthquake. I was near the famed La Brea Tar Pit.
All of a sudden, the water there started to boil and the smoke came out. Then suddenly there was another earthquake and cracks appeared on the ground. In this disaster I was injured and I lost my dog and money.
