The flood

Our human beings can’t stop the natural disasters, such as the flood, the earthquake, the tornado. It’s sad when everyone hear these disasters. It happened so many times of earthquakes before on our earth and there were uncountable people died in earthquakes. Lately, there was a terrible flood in China, especially in Anhui province and Hunan province. A lot of houses were submerged by this flood and most of the people who live in Anhui and Hunan were moved to other places. They are so poor and I think lives are so fragile, So we should value our lives.
