HW 17 Your favorite blog post of the week!

After looking at the three “Blogs I’m Watching” I found that http://www.globalvoicesonline.org had had the most interesting posts. This post was named Hondura’s: Hurricanes Felix Creates a Blogstorm (http://wwwglobalvoicesonline.org/2007/09/04/Honduras-hurricane-felix-creates-a-blogstorm). Honduras: Hurricane Felix Creates a Blogstorm was a blog that had talked about the recent hurricane that is approaching the Nicaragua shore and dangers it may bring to the community. For example, because Felix is moving inland across the mountains of Honduras the Honduran government evacuated tourists and over 2000 people from both Honduran island of Roatan and the other low-lying coastal areas (Honduras: Hurricane Felix Creates a Blogstorm). Also on this post Aaron Ortiz talks about some of the most major hurricanes that have effected the islands in the past. For example, he talked about hurricane Mitch that hit down in 1998. Mitch was a category five storm, lasted for three days, and had killed only ten people. I thought this post was interesting because it would have never occurred to me that there where post about weather and other natural disasters. It also had a lot of helpful information about when the hurricane was suppose to touch down and the strength of the storm. I also found this post was helpful because it was like a support system for the people who where dealing with this terrifying issues.
