Winter Storm

 My phone is giving me big alerts about the upcoming winter storm. I was wondering what I can do about it. My main concern is hydro power. If we have electricity, hopefully we will survive well, because our house might be warm then. But if we don't have power, we will be in an extremely cold situation within a few minutes. We can't stay like that. We have to go to a shelter. Here is another issue: if we get 30-50 cm of snow, no vehicle can rescue us. All will get stuck in the snow. So how can we go out, or can anything come to rescue us? If the storm wipes out the house, the situation will be much worse. I hope we won't fall into that situation.

May Allah protect us, always.

Utilizing Thunders storms

 Nowadays, all big or taller buildings or structures have a function that can take thunder drops from the sky and send them to the earth.

If we can take it, why don't we make something that can store it? For example, the CN tower in Toronto catches thunder every now and then. If we could build something like batteries that can store these thunders, you can imagine how much power we would have in a second to store and use later.

We have to find every option to utilize our nature's power without destroying the nature. It's not time to look for our own corporate benefit. It's time to save the earth for all, including yourself.

Biography 35: Simoom

Simoom is a storm that only happens in the desert.

In Alakaseem (Saudi Arabia) I have faced simoom a couple of times. One day I was playing on the veranda. Suddenly the wind started to blow very fast and moving around me like a tornado and my visibility became zero. I couldn't see anything but sand. I put my hand on my face to save my eyes and nose. Within 2/3 seconds suddenly everything stopped.  I saw the entire area around me covered with sands. My mom run from the clinic and came to me in this storm. She asked, are you OK. I said yes. She checked me and left. This is the only time, I have seen my mom worried about me. Later somehow I proved myself too tough that nobody ever worries about me.

Another day I and my older sister were coming back from school. We were walking through an open space. Suddenly the wind became mad, like a tornado and we could only see sand. We even couldn't see our hands. We felt the wind will blow us away. We scared. We found a wooden pillar near the field and hold it that the wind cannot take us away. After few seconds all stopped like nothing happened. My older sister said "we were scared for nothing. Look, the wind couldn't take away any small stones. How could it take away our bodies?" Hmm, I thought she was right.
