Hurricane Irma Might Hit My People

Most of you might not know this, but I am half Haitian (hence the reason why my whole name sounds french). My father was born to a privileged family near Porta-au-Prince( the capital of Haiti) along with his sibling where he learned to speak french and creole. At the age of nine his family and him came to the United States where they started their new life in Chicago. As of today despite all their hard work to call America their home, they will never forget where they came from.  Which is why they try to visit their home country about once ever four years. Unfortunately, this year my grandparents and uncle have decided to visit now and are planning to be there for next two weeks.  
This sucks because a category five hurricane is suppose to be hitting the island Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Im sure that my family will be alright, it is the island I am worried about. Haiti was a damaged third world country before the earthquake in 2010. This earthquake basically destroyed the country,  and they have barely recovered since. Although they they are not being directly hit by the hurricane they will will most likely suffer winds and rain fall that will destroy their  thin aluminum and brick homes, schools, and businesses. While there is not much we can do now but just wait to evaluate the damage. I still encourage everyone to keep not just Haiti in mind, but all of these Caribbean islands in mind.
