I'm Carl, thank you for spending part of your day with CNN student news. The past week or so we reported on two natural disasters, one is the Philippines, the other in the mid-western United States.In both situations, survivors face a long road of recovery and rebuilding. In the Philippines, the numbers tell part of the story, nearly 4,000 people were killed, more then 18,000 were injured and as far as the missing goes, 1600 people still missing. When you are able to get a look from above like CP did for the next report, you started to get a sense of for the enormity of the physical damage caused by typhoon Haiyan.
They told me if you take a video camera into the air, that you can began to get a handle on the true dimension of this disaster. Look around you and imagine how it must felt standing here while Haiyan is straight, as it tearing wall of water, raced in from the ocean. But take a look, the pictures speak clearly for themselves. Wherever you look, international organizations and government rescue teams are hard at work, pouring away de?,still looking for the body of the dead, trying to bring relief to the survivors. But seeing the scale here, you begin to understand how daunting a task that will be, it's a task that could take mouths, maybe year to rebuild.
When severe weather hit the American mid-west on Sunday, an included reports of 76 tornadoes. The town of Washington Illinois took a direct hit. As many as 400 homes in Washington were destroyed or severely damaged. The mayor summed up simply, devastation, sadness, people that lost everything. Now those people have to find a way to move forward.
I hit by some debrief or something cut my eye in three places. His wife and children survived two, but this is what happened to their house-gone, even they can barely recognize it.
This is my bedroom, right here, i was sleeping on the that side of the bed, then ?at me. I jumped up, there's you know my pants on and I went through the house. I actually went to check the kid over here, so i went through this way, it was my kitchen.
Incredibly, the place of the kitchen / remain completely intact, the rest of the kitchen destroyed. The home was ML's dream house.
After you came out of the basement and saw what this tornado did to your house, were you incre/ that you survived? Yes, i don't know how, anybody made through this. Mandy did not want her husband to shoot the video, it was transfixed.
That water tower over there, just / as where i started see it coming across.
It wasn't until after the tornado hit the C's family in the basement, the day after, they look for keepsakes.
The video of my wedding. And they try to figure it out what happens next. I don't know where to go, I don't know what to do. |
