96-YEAR-OLD’S LIFE TAKES AN UNEXPECTED TURN WHEN A STRANGER APPROACHES HER AMID STORM DORIS

Doris’ Rage

It was February 23, 2017, when Storm Doris hit the greater part of UK and Ireland with full force. The storm was approaching its target with a speed of 94mph and it was supposed to be a dangerous one. The reports suggested that the possibility for storm-related accidents to take place was quite high and people were advised to take appropriate precautions to save themselves from this threat, but one woman begged to differ, until…

An Old Woman

Joanie was a 96-year-old pensioner who lived at Walton-on- Thames, England, all on her own. The woman was quite active and healthy for her age and she was able to take care of herself and perform day-to-day tasks with ease. However, she still relied on a walking cane on days when she had to walk out of her home to run errands. One day she would step out of her house for a specific reason underestimating the power of Storm Doris not knowing that she would soon regret it.

A Shopping Trip

Joanie was thinking about picking up some groceries from a nearby store and she didn’t stress much about the storm Doris and the threat it had brought along to her area and other regions of the UK. Joanie was at her place when the gusts of wind had reached a record high. There was a red-alert regarding this disaster and everyone was worried sick and scared, except Joanie.

A Potential Threat

Everyone was well aware of the life-threatening risk that this storm was carrying with it and people were warned about it in time but it appeared that Joanie couldn’t care more as she put her coat on and went outside in the middle of this fatal storm. It had only been minutes and Joanie was just a few blocks away from her quiet place when she learned that the storm was much closer than she expected. She could see the debris flying all around her and it certainly was not a good idea to leave her house. So, what next? Did the woman dig her own grave by doing so?
