A natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great flood, a big fire or an earthquake. It usually causes great suffering and loss of a large sum of money. The casualties are injured or died. Some people are homeless and need medical care.
Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their banks and pour onto the surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different things. Often heavy rainstorms that last for a brief can cause a flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by flooding. If the surrounding land is flat and can absorb the water, no flooding will occur. If, however, the land is hard and rocky, heavy rain cannot be absorbed. Where the banks are low, a river may overflow and flood adjacent lowland.
In many part of the world flood are caused by tropical storms called hurricanes or typhoons. They bring destructive winds of high speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When a flood occurs, the destruction to surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are sometimes swept away by water pouring swiftly over the land. Railroad track blocked and uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.
When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze. Before the pumps were invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they formed a human chain from the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of water from to hand to be poured on the flames.
The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a small village, only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often destroyed whole blocks and neighborhoods before being controlled.

WHY BOOKS ARE IMPORTANT FOR US?
A wise man once said, “learning without book mean nothing.’ In my opinion this statement is true. Why do I say that? This is for several reasons.
Firstly, books are important because they develop the minds of people who read them. Even if you don’t agree with what an author has done in a book, you can at least have formed your own ideas on what would have been better. This leads to critical thinking skills. These critical thinking skills are a necessity for the development of cultures.
Secondly, book contains so much more than just the story. They record facts. They review history. Books are the documentations of themes that relate to everyone. You can even learn about a period in history just looking at what books were popular and published during that time. For instance, the classic tales of two cities by Charles dickens is set in the French revolution era.
The last thing I’ll say is that books are essential to life because they do not only carry knowledge, but they also entertain us. They entertain us with stories ranging from mystery and drama to comedy, adventures and autobiographies. In other word, you can read book about anything. These possibilities are limitless and that is one of the many lessons you can learn from reading books.
Based on the reason listed above, it is obvious that books have a great influence in our lives. Without book we may learn nothing.

The white pelican is one of the most successful fish eating birds.  The success is largely due to its command hunting behaviour.  A group, perhaps two dozens birds, will gather in a curved are some distance offshore, beating the water furiously with their wings, driving the fish before them.
