Face to Face with Hurricane CamilleJoseph P. Blank1 JohnKoshak, Jr.,knew that HurricaneCamille would bebad. Radio andtelevision warningshad soundedthroughout thatSunday, last August17, as Camillelashednorthwestwardacross the Gulf ofMexico. It wascertain to pummelGulfport, Miss.,where the Kosherslived. Along thecoasts of Louisiana,Mississippi andAlabama, nearly150,000 people fledinland to safer8round. But, likethousands of othersin the coastalcommunities, johnwas reluctant toabandon his homeunless the family --his wife, Janis, andtheir seven children,abed 3 to 11 -- wasclearly endangered.2 Trying toreason out the bestcourse of action, he talked with his father and mother, who had moved into the ten-room house with the Koshaks a month earlier from California. He also consulted Charles Hill, a long time friend, who had driven from Las Vegas for a visit.3 John, 37 -- whose business was right there in his home ( he designed and developed educational toys and supplies, and all of Magna Products' correspondence, engineering drawings and art work were there on the first floor) -- was familiar with the power of a hurricane. Four years earlier, Hurricane Betsy had demolished undefined his former home a few miles west of Gulfport (Koshak had moved his family to a motel for the night). But that house had stood only a few feet above sea level. "We' re elevated 2a feet," he told hisfather, "and we' re a good 250 yards from the sea. The place has been here since 1915, and no hurricane has ever bothered it. We' II probably be as safe here as anyplace else."4 The elder Koshak, a gruff, warmhearted expert machinist of 67, agreed. "We can batten down and ride it out," he said. "If we see signs of danger, we can get out before dark."5 The men methodically prepared for the hurricane. Since water mains might be damaged, they filled bathtubs and pails. A power failure was likely, so they checked out batteries for the portable radio and flashlights, and fuel for the lantern. John's father moved a small generator into the downstairs hallway, wired several light bulbs to it and prepared a connection to the refrigerator.6 Rain fell steadily thatafternoon; gray clouds scudded in from the Gulf on the rising wind. The family had an early supper. A neighbor, whose husband was in Vietnam, asked if she and her two children could sit out the storm with the Koshaks. Another neighbor came by on his way in-land — would the Koshaks mind taking care of his dog?7 It grew dark before seven o' clock. Wind and rain now whipped the house. John sent his oldest son and daughter upstairs to bring down mattresses and pillows for the younger children. He wanted to keep the group together on one floor. "Stay away from the windows," he warned, concerned about glass flying fromstorm-shattered panes. As the wind mounted to a roar, the house began leaking- the rain seemingly driven right through thewalls. With mops, towels, pots and buckets the Koshaks began a struggle against the rapidly spreading water. At 8:30, power failed, and Pop Koshak turned on the generator.8 The roar of the hurricane now was overwhelming. The house shook, and the ceiling in the living room was falling piece by piece. The French doors in an upstairs room blew in with an explosive sound, and the group heard gun- like reports as other upstairs windows disintegrated. Water rose above their ankles.9 Then the front door started to break away from its frame. John and Charlie put their shoulders against it, but a blast of water hit the house, flinging open the door and shoving them down the hall. The generator was doused, and the lights went out. Charlie licked his lips and shouted toJohn. "I think we' re in real trouble. That water tasted salty." The sea had reached the house, and the water was rising by the minute!10 "Everybody out the back door to the oars!" John yelled. "We' II pass the children along between us. Count them! Nine!"11 The children went from adult to adult like buckets in a fire brigade. But the cars wouldn't start; the electrical systems had been killed by water. The wind was too Strong and the water too deep to flee on foot. "Back to the house!" john yelled. "Count the children! Count nine!"12 As they scrambled back, john ordered, "Every-body on the stairs!" Frightened, breathless and wet, the group settled on the stairs, which were protected by two interior walls. The children put the oat, Spooky, and a box with her four kittens on the landing. She peerednervously at her litter. The neighbor's dog curled up and went to sleep.13 The wind sounded like the roar of a train passing a few yards away. The house shuddered and shifted on its foundations. Water inched its way up the steps as first- floor outside walls collapsed. No one spoke. Everyone knew there was no escape; they would live or die in the house.14 Charlie Hill had more or less taken responsibility for the neighbor and her two children. The mother was on the verge of panic. She clutched his arm and kept repeating, "I can't swim, I can't swim."15 "You won't have to," he told her, with outward calm. "It's bound to end soon."16 Grandmother Koshak reached an arm around her husband's shoulder and put her mouth close to his ear."Pop," she said, "I love you." He turned his head and answered, "I love you" -- and his voice lacked its usual gruffness.17 John watched the water lap at the steps, and felt a crushing guilt. He had underestimated the ferocity of Camille. He had assumed that what had never happened could not happen. He held his head between his hands, and silently prayed: "Get us through this mess, will You?"18 A moment later, the hurricane, in one mighty swipe, lifted the entire roof off the house and skimmed it 40 feet through the air. The bottom steps of the staircase broke apart. One wall began crumbling on the marooned group.19 Dr. RobertH. Simpson, director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Fla., graded Hurricane Camille as "the greatest recorded storm everto hit a populated area in the Western Hemisphere." in its concentrated breadth of some 70 miles it shot out winds of nearly 200 m.p.h. and raised tides as high as 30 feet. Along the Gulf Coast it devastated everything in its swath: 19,467 homes and 709 small businesses were demolished or severely damaged. it seized a 600,000-gallon Gulfport oil tank and dumped it 3 ~ miles away. It tore three large cargo ships from their moorings and beached them. Telephone poles and 20-inch-thick pines cracked like guns as the winds snapped them.20 To the west of Gulfport, the town of Pass Christian was virtually wiped out. Several vacationers at the luxurious Richelieu Apartments there held a hurricane party to watch the storm from their spectacular vantage point. RichelieuApartments were smashed apart as if by a gigantic fist, and 26 people perished.21 Seconds after the roof blew off the Koshak house, john yelled, "Up the stairs -- into our bedroom! Count the kids." The children huddled in the slashing rain within the circle of adults. Grandmother Koshak implored, "Children, let's sing!" The children were too frightened to respond. She carried on alone for a few bars; then her voice trailed away.22 Debris flew as the living-room fireplace and its chimney collapsed. With two walls in their bedroom sanctuary beginning to disintegrate, John ordered, "Into the television room!" This was the room farthest from the direction of the storm.23 For an instant, John put his arm around his wife. Janis understood. Shivering from the wind and rain andfear, clutching two children to her, she thought, Dear Lord, give me the strength to endure what I have to. She felt anger against the hurricane. We won't let it win.24 Pop Koshak raged silently, frustrated at not being able to do anything to fight Camille. Without reason, he dragged a cedar chest and a double mattress from a bed-room into the TV room. At that moment, the wind tore out one wall and extinguished the lantern. A second wall moved, wavered, Charlie Hill tried to support it, but it toppled on him, injuring his back. The house, shuddering and rocking, had moved 25 feet from its foundations. The world seemed to be breaking apart.25 "Let's get that mattress up!" John shouted to his father. "Make it a lean-to against the wind. Get the kids under it. We canprop it up with our heads and shoulders!"26 The larger childrensprawled on the floor, with the smaller ones in a layer on top of them, and the adults bent over all nine. The floor tilted. The box containing the litter of kittens slid off a shelf and vanished in the wind. Spooky flew off the top of a sliding bookcase and also disappeared. The dog cowered with eyes closed. A third wall gave way. Water lapped across the slanting floor. John grabbed a door which was still hinged to one closet wall. "If the floor goes," he yelled at his father, "let's get the kids on this."27 In that moment, the wind slightly diminished, and the water stopped rising. Then the water began receding. The main thrust of Camille had passed. The Koshaks and their friends hadsurvived.28 With the dawn, Gulfport people started coming back to their homes. They saw human bodies -- more than 130 men, women and children died along the Mississippi coast- and parts of the beach and highway were strewnwith dead dogs, cats, cattle. Strips of clothingfestooned the standing trees, and blown down power lines coiled like black spaghetti over the roads.29 None of the returnees moved quickly or spoke loudly; they stood shocked, trying to absorb the shattering scenes before their eyes. "What do we dot" they asked. "Where do we go?"30 By this time, organizations within the area and, in effect, the entire population of the United States had come to the aid of the devastated coast. Before dawn, the MississippiNational Guard and civil-defense units were moving in to handle traffic, guard property, set up communications centers, help clear the debris and take the homeless by truck and bus to refugee centers. By 10 a.m., the Salvation Army's canteen trucks and Red Cross volunteers and staffers were going wherever possible to distribute hot drinks, food, clothing and bedding.31 From hundreds of towns and cities across the country came several million dollars in donations; household and medical supplies streamed in by plane, train, truck and car. The federal government shipped 4,400,000 pounds of food, moved in mobile homes, set up portable classrooms, opened offices to provide low-interest,long-term business loans.32 Camille,meanwhile, had raked its way northward across Mississippi, dropping more than 28 inches of rain into West Virginia and southern Virginia, causing rampaging floods, huge mountain slides and 111 additional deaths before breaking up over the Atlantic Ocean.33 Like many other Gulfport families, the Koshaks quickly began reorganizing their lives, John divided his family in the homes of two friends. The neighbor with her two children went to a refugee center. Charlie Hill found a room for rent. By Tuesday, Charlie's back had improved, and he pitched in with Seabees in the worst volunteer work ofall--searching for bodies. Three days after the storm, he decided not to return to Las Vegas, but to "remain in Gulfport and help rebuild the community."34 Near the end of the first week, a friend offered the Koshaks his apartment, and the family was reunited. The children appeared to suffer no psychological damage from their experience; they were still awed by the incomprehensible power of the hurricane, but enjoyed describing what they had seen and heard on that frightful night, Janis had just one delayed reaction. A few nights after the hurricane, she awoke suddenly at 2 a.m. She quietly got up and went outside. Looking up at the sky and, without knowing she was going to do it, she began to cry softly.35 Meanwhile, John, Pop and Charlie were picking through the wreckage of the home. It could have been depressing, but it wasn't: each salvaged item represented a little victory over thewrath of the storm. The dog and cat suddenly appeared at the scene, alive and hungry.36 But the blues did occasionally afflict all the adults. Once, in a low mood, John said to his parents, "I wanted you here so that we would all be together, so you could enjoy the children, and look what happened."37 His father, who had made up his mind to start a welding shop when living was normal again, said, "Let's not cry about what's gone. We' II just start all over."38 "You're great," John said. "And this town has a lot of great people in it. It' s going to be better here than it ever was before."39 Later, Grandmother Koshak reflected : "We lost practically all our possessions, but the family came through it. When I think of that, I realize we lost nothing important."(f rom Rhetoric and Literature by P. Joseph Canavan)NOTES1. Joseph p.

与卡米尔飓风面对面的思考英语作文
与卡米尔飓风面对面的思考英语作文Facing Hurricane Camille。
Hurricane Camille was one of the most destructive hurricanes to hit the United States in the 20th century. It made landfall on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi on August 17, 1969, with winds of up to 190 mph (305 km/h) and storm surges as high as 24 feet (7.3 meters). The devastation caused by this powerful storm left a lasting impact on the affected communities and raised important questions about the resilience of coastal areas in the face of extreme weather events.As I reflect on the encounter with Hurricane Camille, I am reminded of the immense power and destructive force of nature. Witnessing the aftermath of such a catastrophic event, it becomes clear that humans are merely guests in the natural world and must respect its capabilities. The force of Hurricane Camille serves as a humbling reminder of our vulnerability and the need for preparedness and resilience.The impact of Hurricane Camille was felt not only during its landfall but also in the days and weeks that followed. The storm caused extensive flooding, destroyed thousands of homes, and claimed the lives of over 250 people. The recovery efforts were long and arduous, requiring the coordination of various agencies and organizations. It was a test of both the physical and emotional strength of the affected communities.In the face of such a devastating event, one cannot help but wonder about the future. How can we better protect ourselves and our communities from the wrath of natural disasters? This question looms large as we witness the increasing frequency and intensity of hurricanes, storms, and other extreme weather events. It is evident that climate change plays a significant role in exacerbating these phenomena, making it imperative for us to address this global issue.One of the key lessons learned from Hurricane Camille is the importance of preparedness. In the aftermath of the storm, it became apparent that many communities were ill-equipped to handle such a disaster. The lack of proper infrastructure, emergencyplans, and communication systems contributed to the severity of the impact. It is crucial that we invest in resilient infrastructure and develop robust disaster management strategies to mitigate the effects of future hurricanes.Additionally, Hurricane Camille highlighted the need for community cohesion and support. In the face of adversity, it was heartening to witness the resilience and spirit of the affected communities. Neighbors helped neighbors, and strangers became friends as they navigated the daunting task of rebuilding their lives. This sense of unity and collective action is crucial in ensuring the swift recovery and long-term sustainability of communities affected by natural disasters.Furthermore, Hurricane Camille shed light on the importance of environmental conservation. The storm wreaked havoc on natural habitats, causing irreversible damage to ecosystems and biodiversity. It serves as a stark reminder that our actions have consequences and that we must strive to protect and preserve the environment for future generations. By adopting sustainable practices and reducing our carbon footprint, we can mitigate the impacts of climate change and reduce the likelihood of future devastating hurricanes.In conclusion, the encounter with Hurricane Camille was a stark reminder of the power of nature and the need for preparedness, community cohesion, and environmental conservation. As we face the increasing threat of climate change and extreme weather events, it is imperative that we learn from past experiences and take proactive measures to protect ourselves and our communities. Only through collective action and a commitment to resilience can we hope to withstand the forces of nature and build a sustainable future.。

3.台风命名法也就是西北太平洋和南海热带气旋命名系统，也可称为热带气旋命名系统，台风指的西北太平洋和南海的热带气旋的一个等级，常常被人们误以为是热带气旋的替称。
国际上统一的热带气旋命名法是由热带气旋形成并影响的周边国家和地区共同事先制定的一个命名表，然后按顺序年复一年地循环重复使用。
命名表首先给出英文名，各个成员国家可以根据发音或意义将命名译至当地语言。
当一个热带气旋名称被使用，造成某个或多个成员国家的巨大损失，这个名称将会永久除名并停止使用。
遭遇损失的成员国家可以向WMO提出上诉，将名称除名。
命名表共有140个名字，分别由世界气象组织所属的亚太地区的柬埔寨、中国大陆、
朝鲜、中国香港、日本、老挝、中国澳门、马来西亚、密克罗尼西亚、菲律宾、韩国、泰
国、美国以及越南14个成员国和地区提供，以便于各国人民防台抗灾、加强国际区域合作。
这套由14个成员提出的140个台风名称中，每个国家和地区提出10个名字。
中国提出的10个是：龙王（后被“海葵”替代）、悟空、玉兔、海燕、风神、海神、杜
