飓风（Hurricane），是指在大西洋或北太平洋东部发生的、中心附近最大持续风级达到12级及以上的热带气旋。飓风中心有一个风眼，风眼愈小，破坏力愈大。飓风是北半球特定地区的热带气旋称谓之一，与台风没有本质区别。在北半球，国际日期变更线以东到本初子午线的海洋洋面上生成的气旋称为飓风，而在国际日期变更线以西的海洋上生成的热带气旋则称为台风。2025年4月，世界气象组织宣布，飓风贝丽尔、飓风海伦妮、飓风米尔顿和飓风约翰除名。

If in the open air, find an open place and never get close to cars or waterside.

The story took place in the south-east coast of Asia on December 26th, 2004. We follow our main character Lucas and his family as they spend their vacation on the coast. As Lucas is playing happily with his brothers and his father, a terrible tsunami hit the coast and they were all washed away by the waves. Unwilling to abandon his life and his family members, Lucas kept swimming and searching for his mother. He finally made it to safety with his mom by the help of the trees and floating things. In the end, he found his brothers and father too.
I think the story is touching because the boy is brave and persistent, he tried hard and never gave up.
From the story, I realize that when we are in difficulty, we need to be optimistic and be strong. Nothing is impossible as long as we do not give up.
