http://www.nationalgeographic.com/photography/proof/2017/08/houston-flooding-hurricane-harvey-video-spd/  This article is about a Texas native who is a photographer named Erin Trieb. She was visiting family in Houston when she was caught in the storm. In my opinion I think the people that stayed in Houston are crazy. You would think that Katrina would have given them a wake up call. You have insurance so your house can be repaired. You can't repair life. The people are crazy that stayed in Houston.

    I have mixed feelings about "should I stay or should I go" (The Clash, by the way). I wish I knew the specifics of local officials' advice. Since I don't, I can't judge. You never know what you'd do until you're in the situation yourself.

    I think it could be hard for some people to simply pack up and leave, even if it's because of a hurricane. While I do believe with all the warnings people should have left, I can see why some might have stayed.

College Shooting

Recently on the  UNC Charlotte campus 2 students were found dead and 4 injured, after shooter. The suspect, a male student, is in custody  now.  Officers are going room by room on campus to identify any students, faculty or others who may be sheltering in place. I think overall it is really scary because a shooting can happen anywhere and we never know when. Unfortunately  without increasing security, these shootings will continue to occur. https://abcnews.go.com/US/dead-injured-shooting-unc-charlotte-campus-officials/story?id=62739015

Plastic Eating Bacteria

Two high school senior girls in Vancouver have recently discovered a process that helps break down plastic. This process begins with solvent that dissolves the plastic, and then what is left over can be consumed by their newly developed bacteria. This bacteria was made to specifically eat phthalate, a material found in plastic that is hard to break down. Over in Japan at Kyoto University, they found a completely new bacteria species that eats plastics. There are also current studies on how meal worms can eat Styrofoam and plastic.  I believe that this could be a extremely beneficial discovery to the world. Being that all the plastic ever used is still floating around somewhere on earth either in landfills or oceans, although side effects are not yet known.   Learn about the bacteria here!
