Good afternoon everybody. I’m Jacklyn and this is ALP TV
from Manchester. There are people from other countries here.
Today’s street interview is about natural disasters. Mother Nature
sometimes becomes a bit scary and unfortunately we experience
disasters. What do you want to say?

I’m from Houston, America. Houston is called a bayou city. Bayou is a kind of dirty
river. It foods a lot and we get hurricanes there. After heavy rains, you see water
in your houses. And those big angry storms! Trees fall down, cars drift away by
the force of heavy water and things fy in the air. Everything seems in an absolute
mess. By the way, we give female names to our hurricanes. Do you know the
reason behind it?
