(RONNIE'S POINT OF VIEW)
Normally I'd be sat home on the sofa with the kids and my husband all snuggled up watching telly during a storm but no, right now I am currently stuck down in New York because of a damn hurricane. I came down 5 days ago to my store here in the city to see how things are going, all was good for one day then the next morning I was in work early putting out the new clothing line cleaning the place up, like you would do every morning before a store opens. The girl who I have as Manager Lola she rang in telling me to look outside so I headed over to the big windows overlooking the streets and I looked out I was only 2 stories up in the mall and the rain was belting down billboards hanging off their stand. So I had to shut the store down and I drove the rental back to the hotel where I have been for the past 3 days, everyone was warned to stay inside because it's only going to get worse but what was worse about this whole situation my sister Kasey went into labour yesterday and I couldn't fly home so I missed the birth of my Nephew Jonah coming into the world and to top that off my other sister Sasha her waters broke this morning so that'll be another birth I'll miss over this fucking weather.

I put my phone on lock and I slipped my jumper on, people form the hotel where helping people off the streets so I put my room key in my pocket and I headed down to see a bunch of injured people in the lobby I looked around to see a paramedic and I walked over.
''Anything I can do to help'' I asked him he looked up and his eyes widen a bit then he nodded. ''Yeah I could use the help, there are first aid kits everywhere we mostly need to bandaged and clean the cuts up'' he said I nodded and I picked a first aid kit up and I walked over to a girl around 8 with rolled rolling from her forehead down her face sniffling.
''Darling I'm going to clean that cut up ok and bandage you up and you'll be a fine as a fiddle right'' I said sitting down she nodded and I opened the first aid kit and I took out the disinfecting wipes cleaned her face and cut and I put a big white band aid over it then wrapped a bandage around her head to keep it tight.
''Honey are you alone'' I asked her she nodded. ''I l-lost my parents in the rain, I couldn't see anything then a fireman told me to come in here'' she cried I nodded putting a warm blanket that a member of the fire department gave me and wrapped it around her.
''What do they look like'' I asked. ''My dad is tall no hair and a tattoo on the side of his neck with my name Mona and my mom had long brown hair she was wearing a woolly jumper and really bright pink boots and had a tattoo on her wrist of my name to '' she sniffled I nodded and looked around to see a sofa in the lobby spear.
''Ok honey you come sit over here ok and I will go look for you parents but do not move till I come back ok'' she nodded and I kissed the top of her forehead and I pulled my hood up and walked out of the hotel the wind nearly took me off my feet, I stead close to the wall so I could grab onto something if the wind took the ground from under me. I saw people running but nothing like that little girl describe, I was looking for her mother's boots then I heard screaming and crying, I squinted my eyes to the middle of the street hearing a man calling out a name followed by a women so I walked over pushing myself against the rain and the wind.
''MONA'' I heard a man scream so I walked faster and faster till I reached a hysterical man and women. ''Excuse me are you Mona parents'' I asked the man turned around I saw the features she describe.
''Yes, yes we are where is she'' her father asked. ''She is in the Maldon hotel come I will bring you too her'' her mother cried wrapping her arms around me and I patted her back.
