Cancelled flight- Nature's power

1.      On a different trip with my family than our vacation to visit my uncle in St. Martin, we visited Florida for one of my soccer tournaments. There had been news of a hurricane scheduled to pass by Florida, but it was supposed to miss the region that we were in. Unfortunately, it coincided with the same day that were supposed to fly home to Virginia. We were waiting in the airport for hours, as our flight was delayed twice. Once it was clear that the hurricane had changed its path, and was going to hit the airport, almost all flights were delayed. Similar to my sailing failure in St. Martin, we were physically controlled by nature and were at its mercy. The hurricane was a category 3, and caused minor damage to the surrounding area that was not prepared to be hit by the hurricane. Thankfully, we were able to return to our family friend’s house for the night, and we flew out the next day.
