Long ago, Hurakán was a terrible God.

But as ages passed, the deities of Nature
were no longer revered as they used to be.

Yet their manifestations remain
just as powerful today.

And so we give them names.

This is Lucy's story.

HURRICANE LUCY: I could be
the smallest of clouds,

or the lightest breeze.

Like those born over the plains
of Africa, each day.

But one such day in August...

CONTROL: Station. Houston
Mission Control. How do you copy?

ASTRONAUT: I copy good, Houston.
We're crossing Africa just now.

It's a beautiful morning!

CONTROL: Night time here.

Can you confirm
the precipitation test program is good to go?

ASTRONAUT: Negative.
We're still making the final calibrations

to focus transmission for orbit altitude.

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

SAINT-LOUIS WEATHER STATION
Senegal, West Africa

LUCY: Science examines
the weather...

Trying to predict its moods.

I am tracked, gauged, modelled,

but where will I go?

Who will I meet?

-What will I become?
-(MAN SPEAKING FRENCH ON RADIO)

Ten months with no rain
and the waiting is unbearable.

Temperatures will be
uncommonly high today...

MAN: Waiting for the monsoon
is hard for everyone.

People are tense,
their hearts and minds have dried up.

We've spent ten months
under a blazing sun waiting for rain.

LUCY: (IN ENGLISH) With my awakening,
anything becomes possible.

I will define the fate
of those I chance to meet.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER ON RADIO)

(MAN SPEAKING
OTHER LANGUAGE ON RADIO)

...weather alert for the entire community,
especially fishermen.

Serious squalls are expected
between Saint-Louis and Dakar.

Seafaring activities should be curtailed.

(WAVES CRASHING)

(MAN SHOUTING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(CHILDREN CHATTERING)

LUCY: (IN ENGLISH) My first steps bring
the stirring of my dominion of fear.

(WIND WHOOSHING)

(CHILDREN SHOUTING)

(MUSICAL JINGLE PLAYS)

(SPEAKING IN OTHER LANGUAGE)

Saint-Louis residents have been surprised

by a sandstorm that has engulfed
the northern region of the country.

Many people were frightened
by this rare event.

(BIRD SQUAWKS)

LUCY: (IN ENGLISH) My breath revives life

in a ritual cycle that's as old as Africa.

(CHANTING IN OTHER LANGUAGE)

(GOATS BLEATING)

(ALL LAUGHING)

CONTROL: Station? Houston.

Are you recording that weather disturbance
forming over Senegal?

ASTRONAUT: Houston,
we're sampling data as of now

and picking up significant precipitation.

CONTROL: The National Hurricane Center
asks that you keep an eye

on that system over the Atlantic
the next couple of weeks.

Conditions look favorable for a development.

(BIRDS CHITTERING)

(MAN SPEAKING IN OTHER LANGUAGE)

The monsoon wind we've been waiting for
brings us rain.

Then it blows out over the ocean,

whipping up waves,
which grow until they're huge.

When this wind meets land,
it causes terrible damage.

What is beneficial here
can be damaging elsewhere.

We are saddened by the losses
the wind causes

in the Caribbean and the Americas,

because that wind originates here.

ATLANTIC OCEAN

LUCY: (IN ENGLISH) I am a tyrant
but I heed to universal laws.

The first, to transform a drop of ocean
into a drop of rain.

I'm a distillery of the skies.

Each time you see a cloud,
you see the chemistry of my being.

I carry vapor from the ocean
towards the heavens...

So high, the rotating Earth empowers me.

As the pressure falls,
my transformation is launched.

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

Ascending, I spiral towards space,

dragging battalion clouds in my wake.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

1500 MILES FROM THE WEATHER SYSTEM
Florida, USA

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

PILOT: Tower, our flight plan
has approximate duration 10 hours.

Expected return 0900 UTC tomorrow.

CONTROLLER: NOAA 101, understood.
Taxi for take-off on runway one.

PILOT: Tower, Wilco.

ASTRONAUT: Houston.
That weather system over the Atlantic

is giving us a lot of data.

CONTROL: Figures. The Hurricane Center
advises it's already a tropical depression,

with signs of circulation.

MAN: There's more than 80% chance of it
becoming a storm in the next 24 hours.

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

500 MILES EAST OF PUERTO RICO
Atlantic Ocean

COAST GUARD: Notos, this is
Humacao Port Control.

CAPTAIN: Please advise conditions for enter.

COAST GUARD: Notos, the port is
status Yankee and closed for entry

until after the tropical storm.

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER OVER RADIO)

SAILOR: Puerto Rico Coast Guard advise
entry shipping to reroute south

to Curacao until port cleared reopen.

Port Control.
Notos changing course 165 degrees true.

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

PILOT: Okay, we're 30 minutes
into the 12,000-foot pattern.

How many sondes have you dropped?

Well, we've got number 114
going out right now.

PILOT: Radar shows we're pretty much
mid system so this drop pattern

should locate the center.

We just got the information
from the drop sonde we launched

in the center of the storm.
And the splash pressure

was niner-niner-zero millibars

and the max flight level that would
come in was 43 miles/hour, so...

As soon as they get this information

to the folks of the National Hurricane Center,

they probably gonna make this tropical storm.

I copy. Tropical Storm Lucy.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

WEATHER CENTRE
San Juan, Puerto Rico

MAN: More of the convection is...

Right now, it's outside of our...
Our area right now, see?

But that thing with the wind change
could turn around

north of the convection,
you've got a ship there, reporting

50 knots of wind only, so...

MAN: So this is
not going to be a wind...

Right, it should be a rain... Rain type.

BEFORE THE STORM
El Yunque, Puerto Rico

LUCY: You see the ocean's tides,
but the air's flow is invisible.

It brings me my founding rains.

And in my command, they quench the Earth.

All of nature is a balance.

An ancient flux to which I add my weight.

The sun's heat is captured
by the sea, I reclaim it.

As do the thunderstorms that form and fade
in the daily rhythm of the tropics.

But sometimes the forces
of the distillery are overwhelming.

I will be no ordinary storm.

(MAN SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

Only a limited amount of light
gets into the forest

and all the trees and plants growing here

want their share.

So the fight for this light is fierce.

Many young plants in the El Yunque forest

spend decades at ground level
before they can start to grow.

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

MAN: (ON RADIO) ...but organizers have
canceled tonight's show

because of the approaching tropical storm.

There's already a warning of heavy rain

with flash floods likely in mountain areas.

Anyone out enjoying the sun

should be thinking safety first.

And now here's Gerry...

LUCY: (IN ENGLISH) Beyond sight,

beyond measure,

the cogs of the atmosphere turn

such that the infinite encounters are minute.

Faced with me, man himself,

for all his cleverness and will,

is but microscopic.

(WOMAN SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

Pedrito, we have to go now.

Francesca!

ASTRONAUT: (IN ENGLISH) Boy, look at that,
Puerto Rico's right in Lucy's sights!

CONTROL: Be great to see a visual.

ASTRONAUT: Getting one. Ah!
No, we're already orbiting past her.

I should get a better shot on the next pass.

CONTROL: Look forward
to seeing that in 90 minutes, then.

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

LUCY: A machine of nature,

a steam engine conveying rain
from the heavens to the distant ground.

I feed on the heat of the ocean,

absorbing the very sea
into my carousel of clouds.

Spitting.

Recycling.

Intensifying.

250 MILES OFFSHORE PUERTO RICO

(SPEAKING IN OTHER SPANISH)

At 10.38 a.m., the meteorological service
detected severe storms

moving towards Ceiba, Fajardo and Luquillo.

This area will also be affected by lightning.

WOMAN: Where shall I put it?

In the living room, please.

GIRL: Why are we putting things away?

Because a storm is on its way.

Amanda, put that in the living room.

(MAN SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

MAN: When I was younger,
I was a homeless person.

I slept under the stars and
had a bit of cardboard as cover,

I listened to the river as it flowed past.

But a hurricane came,
and things became very difficult.

The rain was torrential
and the river began to rise.

In a fraction of a second
many things passed before my eyes.

I remembered so much about my family.

How good it was to be at home,
to be part of society.

And a voice inside me said

"I don't want to die here."

LUCY: (IN ENGLISH) The living cower
as the air pressure falls

the first sign of my approach.

(BATS SCREECHING)

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

-(THUNDER RUMBLES)
-(BAT SCREECHES)

The system looks better organized.

I would not be surprised
if the National Hurricane Center call it

a hurricane Category 1
before the next 12 to 24 hours.

I'm not worried about the winds
at this moment

because people are expecting
a strong tropical storm.

What I'm worried about is the amount
of rain this system could bring.

This is not going to be only the...

We cannot only concentrate
on the center of the system.

The system could be generating showers
for the next 24 to 48 hours.

Once these guys start talking

to the media what type of rainfall amounts...

You know how I feel about going with those

-double digit amounts initially.
-Yeah.

We're going to be very conservative
at the beginning.

We're going to go four to six inches

and mention to the media
that we could have isolated

higher amounts, maybe double digits.

LUCY: In my procession, I bring rain,

thunder, lightning.

They speak for me.

Heralds of my message
that overwhelm the air.

INSTITUTE OF METEOROLOGY
Havana, Cuba

(MAN SPEAKING IN SPANISH ON RADIO)

MAN: (ON RADIO) Could it affect Cuba?

MAN 2: It might, it's the tropical storm
we've been tracking from Africa.

Tropical storm Lucy,

but it's grown into a Category 1 hurricane,

to the south, very close to Puerto Rico.

ASTRONAUT: (IN ENGLISH)
Go ahead, Houston.

CONTROL: Are you over Lucy yet?

ASTRONAUT: Looking back at Lucy now.

Clearing Puerto Rico
and heading towards Cuba below us.

CONTROL: Wouldn't like being there.
It's predicted to intensify

over extreme warm sea temperatures
into a Cat 3, or worse.

COASTAL REEFS, SOUTHEAST CUBA

LUCY: With seas calm beyond tranquility,

my arrival scarcely seems feasible.

But I venture where I please.

My presence is felt from beyond the horizon.

Those that sense me escape.

But you, you measure me.

I confound your certainties.

(MAN SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

I've just had a call from the Civil Defence

and they're very worried about the situation.

Let's have a look at what we've got

so we can decide what to tell them.

Is this the latest data?

Yes.

That's its track.
It's below the Dominican Republic.

According to some models it will head north,

others show it heading south,
and passing very close to Granma,

a few models give it
passing south of Jamaica.

But it all depends
on that area of high pressure.

If it stays as strong as it is now,

it will force Lucy further south

and she won't affect Eastern Cuba directly.

SANTA CRUZ HARBOR, SOUTH CUBA

Pull.

Wait a minute.

Hurry up a bit.

MAN: Make sure it's secure.

Norca,

look at this picture of the little one

when he was three.

I hope it won't get wet.

And his sister, she's so sweet.

-Which one?
-Josana.

Up a bit higher.

We need to hurry a little.

Yes.

The bus is waiting for us.

Shut the door well.

10 HOURS AFTER LUCY
Puerto Rico

MAN: (ON RADIO) The El Yunque forest
has taken the brunt of the storm

with several landslides observed
and many trees down.

In other news, the fishing festival...

MAN: For us, the forest was eternal.

No one could ever have imagined

that a storm could have
such a great impact on it.

The Forestry Department employees
were very upset.

They thought El Yunque had been destroyed.

LUCY: (IN ENGLISH) Now Hurricane,
I shuffle the cards and deal anew.

I shake up hierarchies
turning everything upside down.

I control the destiny
of all whose path I cross.

Within this savage turmoil,

winds furl towards my thrashing core,

my central eye ever more apparent.

Reinforcing.

Ravaging.

I am the Cyclops.

17 HOURS BEFORE LANDFALL
Santa Cruz, Cuba

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(SIRENS WAILING)

(MAN SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

We ask everyone to remain calm.

There is room on the bus for everyone.

(BABY CRIES)

(BIRDS SQUAWK)

ASTRONAUT: (IN ENGLISH) Wow!
Lucy has grown massive since yesterday.

CONTROL: On infrared images
it's nearly 800 miles across.

ASTRONAUT: Okay, Control,
we're way down south just now.

Even looking back from here.
Awesome sight.

SOUTH COAST OF CUBA

(WATER CRASHING)

LUCY: The first surging waves
announce my arrival to all I threaten.

But they do not reveal my true powers.

I am just toying.

You don't know me until you meet my heart.

PINAR DEL RIO, WESTERN CUBA

(MAN SPEAKING IN SPANISH
ON RADIO)

Information from the Meteorological
Office and the Civil Defence

reports that Hurricane Lucy
poses a real threat

for the west and centre of the country...

(FLAMINGOS SQUAWK)

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

(SQUAWKING)

(LIGHTNING CRACKLING)

PILOT: (IN ENGLISH) More turbulence
than the last two flights.

Storm's intensifying.

-Flight director flight?
-Bet.

We just punched through the eye wall,
we are here in the eye.

It's nice and smooth. It's a well-defined eye.

What kind of pressure
and wind speeds are you seeing?

It was niner-four-zero millibars.
The drop we made in the eye wall.

The winds and splash
were 125 miles an hour so the...

Lucy is approaching Category 4 strength.

Wow, okay, I understand.
Lucy is approaching Category 4 hurricane.

Real nice eye.

You see the whole...

-This is unreal.
-Great storm.

Beautiful.

5 HOURS BEFORE LANDFALL
Havana, Cuba

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

We've got some urgent
last minute information.

A reconnaissance plane has detected
that Hurricane Lucy's

pressure has lowered and
is decreasing further as she advances,

which means she's intensifying.

She's almost a Category 4 hurricane,

with sustained winds of 205 kph.

...its arrival over warm water
in the next couple of hours

could increase its intensity
and with its track confirmed,

we encourage all citizens
in the western regions

to remain informed and aware
of Hurricane Lucy's progression.

(MAN SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

Maximum sustained winds are now 240 kph

with gusts of more than 270 kph.

So a very dangerous hurricane.

And I would like you to take a look
at the predicted tracks.

They're all heading towards Pinar del Rio.

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

(MAN SPEAKING ON RADIO)

Strong winds and very heavy rain
could cause severe local conditions.

(WIND WHOOSHING)

LUCY: (IN ENGLISH)
I consume everything in my path.

A harvester.

Reaping.

(METAL CLATTERING)

(SQUAWKING)

(MAN SPEAKING IN SPANISH ON RADIO)

...with a storm surge of 5 metres...

WOMAN: Listen, listen!

MAN: (ON RADIO)
...the coast has been evacuated...

(RADIO CHATTER CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)

(BABY COOING)

(MAN SPEAKING ON RADIO)

...staying in that area is very dangerous.

(WIND WHOOSHING)

(WAVES CRASHING)

(THUNDER BREAKING IN DISTANCE)

ASTRONAUT: (IN ENGLISH)
Yeah, beautiful.

Just can't imagine the winds creating that.

CONTROL: Last recorded eye pressure,
892 millibars.

Sustained wind speed, 122 miles per hour.

(WIND WHOOSHING)

(WOMAN SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

The roof is going to fly off.

Do you hear that?

-(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
-(WOMAN EXCLAIMS)

Where are the lamps?

(BABY CRYING)

(WOMAN SPEAKING IN OTHER LANGUAGE)

Calm down, calm down.

She's still intensifying...

...we're waiting for the latest satellite data.

(WIND WHOOSHING)

(MAN SPEAKING ON RADIO)

Following the devastating passage
of Hurricane Lucy

across our Island,

I'm here with our correspondent
Rolando Canauras Sanchez

who will bring us up to date
with the latest information.

MAN 2: Only a few hours
after Hurricane Lucy hit the coast...

CONTROL: (IN ENGLISH) Station,
you still getting that precipitation data?

ASTRONAUT: Roger that.
The contents really crashed over Cuba.

Lucy definitely weakened a lot over land.

CONTROL: I guess. But forecasts say

she could re-intensify
over the Gulf Loop current.

WEATHER FORECAST CENTER
California, USA

I'm sure that's gonna be
a top five most destructive

hurricane in their history.
I mean, Category 4 coming in like that.

It must have had a 20-foot storm surge,
I would guess.

Cuba's always ready for these things.

Yeah, I think their loss
of life's going to be low. Okay.

Yeah. Their evacuations were huge,
hundreds of thousands, so...

You look at that storm, Cat 2 now,
but it could be

Cat 3 or 4 at landfall, right?
Some of our intensity models.

MAN 1: Well, it's possible, yeah.
WOMAN 1: Yeah, let's talk about that.

-Right. Right.
-How about the track? First of all the track.

-Track, yeah.
-How certain are we of the track?

-WOMAN 2: They're all in agreement.
-The track's heading towards Louisiana.

Yeah, they were all split
for a while, but now they're

in pretty good agreement.
It doesn't mean it's the right track

but, you know,
we pretty much think, New Orleans.

(THUNDER BREAKING)

Everything outside
of the Federal Level system

will have to be a mandatory evacuation.

We don't have a lot of time.
We have to open up the auditorium.

WOMAN: Okay, so we're going to activate
the CT&E program.

The crew's already pre-mobilized
and set up the shelter.

It'll take us about four or six hours

to set up the shelter and be ready
to receive people.

(SIREN CHIRPS)

MAN: (ON PA) Mandatory.
There is an evacuation of this community.

Here is the last,
last warning for the community.

Mrs. Doris!

-What?
-It's time to go.

-No.
-Yes, we have to go.

-Where?
-We have to take you to the shelter.

No. I'll stay here. This is my house.

There's a flash flood warning for this area,
and this is a dangerous place for you.

No. No. I'll stay here. This is my house.

I know this is your house, but we have to go.
We have to take you to a safe place.

-No, I'm not going, I'm not.
-Why?

Give me a good reason why you don't go.

-My cat. My cat's my baby.
-Your cat?

You can take your cat with you.

Yes, you can take your cat but we have to go.

No!

Yes, this is a dangerous place
for you right now.

MAN: (ON RADIO) ...as Hurricane Lucy
advances slowly across the Gulf.

Right now, they're saying
tidal storm surges could be anything

from five feet up to 10 feet in some cases.

Extreme conditions could start Monday,
peak Tuesday,

and could last for days.
In fact, the real problem...

MAN: Station. How's Jim?

ASTRONAUT: Sleeping.

CONTROL: Look, tell him they're still
expecting big storm surges in Louisiana,

so we've evacuated his family.

ASTRONAUT: He'll appreciate that.
I'll let him know.

So I know as far as the storm surge,
predictions have gone up.

There's gates we're gonna
have to wind up closin'.

The gate of access to the canal.
The sector gates at the railroad crossing.

-(WIND WHOOSHING)

(BEEPING)

THE AFTERMATH
Southern Cuba

(MAN SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

Around 5 a.m. I still had the TV on,

they said the storm was going to weaken.

But after that, the power went down
and we had no more news.

I was terrified.

And then it started...

In an instant, it blew the wall away.

I couldn't see anything anymore.

And then, it tore the roof off.

I had nothing left, I was totally exposed.

All sorts of things started flying,
the bed sheets...

Everything. Everything flew into the air.
The wind took everything from me.

(WOMAN SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

We heard the sound of rocks being
thrown against the houses by the sea.

We heard them because rocks
were hitting the walls and doors

of all the houses, a terrible noise...

that was what we heard the most.

(MAN SIGHS, SPEAKING)

We lost the roof.

We didn't talk much.

We just said a few words
to try and keep our spirits up...

WOMAN: I thought I was going to faint.

I was scared, I'd never seen
anything like that before.

Even though I just turned 80.

(WOMAN 2 SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

I was so frightened, I was thinking

"My God, if the water keeps coming up
how will I get my sister out?"

Because she can't swim and neither can I.

I told her that if I was going to drown,

it was best if it happens while
I was asleep so I wouldn't feel anything.

(MAN SPEAKING IN OTHER LANGUAGE)

There was a moment
when I couldn't take it anymore

and I just sat down on a stone and cried.

It's going to be ok, don't worry.

(SNIFFLING)

Dry your eyes.

(WOMAN SPEAKING)

I went with my sister
to see how our house was...

and it was...

(VOICE BREAKING)

Seeing the place you were born in that way...

I don't know...

It really upset me to see our house like that.

(MAN SPEAKING IN OTHER LANGUAGE)

I was in a state of shock.

I thought I was going to go mad.

(MAN 2 SPEAKING IN OTHER LANGUAGE)

It was her room, she had her furniture,

her memories, my uncle's photo.

It was a room she loved.

She would sit there
in her rocking chair, watching TV.

It was where she would clean rice,

with light streaming in from the street
through the open door.

Now the only room she has is her bedroom.

As each day goes by,
she gets more despondent.

As each day goes by, she's sadder.

As each day goes by,

she loses the will to carry on living.

(SQUAWKING)

(MAN SPEAKING IN OTHER LANGUAGE)

Look at that.

It's all ruined.

(MAN 2 SPEAKING IN OTHER LANGUAGE)

Don't worry, we'll replant.

(SQUAWKING)

LUCY: (IN ENGLISH) You can't imagine me,

or what I am capable of.

I wreathe through a realm of possibility
far beyond yours.

I destroy without sentiment.

I would be a monster

if it wasn't for the miracle
of my greater purpose.

(WOMAN SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

For me, the sea is terrifying.

I watched it take so many sturdy homes.

It's a monster

and it scares me.

I don't want to swim at the beach any more.

(WIND WHOOSHING)

COASTAL LOUISIANA
United States of America

(WAVES CRASHING)

(IN ENGLISH) It looks like we have 200,
about 200 people that did not evacuate.

We have 200 people we have
to get out of here, immediately.

It's coming up fast and hard.
I'm now hearing it's, um... It's...

It's about five feet, just north of Whiteditch.

That's fast, guys. That's just a few minutes.

(WIND WHOOSHING)

WOMAN: (ON RADIO)
Although Lucy is smaller

than major storms like Katrina or Sandy,

some forecasters warn
there could be storm surges

as far inland as Baton Rouge
with severe rain flooding possible

in Alexandria.
But the levees have battened the hatch.

MAN: (ON RADIO)
With the storm moving so slowly,

there's another concern.

Repeat tides and heavy rain
could make for a more extreme surge

than first expected.

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

Watch, watch. Watch carefully.

One, two...

(CHILDREN LAUGHING)

Ah! (CHUCKLES)

12 HOURS LATER

LUCY: (IN ENGLISH) I reset the clock.

When my engine finally stills,
your assessment begins.

What is left of you and yours?

MAN: Come on. Come on. Go, go, go.

Go, go, go. Come on, go, go, go.

Go, go, go.

By the trees.

WOMAN: (ON RADIO)
...much higher than expected.

Lucy is officially dead.

Now a post-tropical depression,
heading north but still with heavy rain

and flooding expected
across Midwest states.

MAN: (ON RADIO) All in all,

Lucy has been the most destructive storm
of the year so far,

leaving chaos across the Caribbean
and losses likely in billions.

10 DAYS AFTER LUCY

LUCY: Although I was born by chance,
my end is certain.

Deprived of water, I must die.

Mine has been a mad dash
towards an earthly grave.

Was it also a final act of malice?

Good and bad come from the same source.

It is the duality of things.

I can be both curse and blessing.

I may have been a tyrant,

but I served to restore balance.

WOMAN: What most people don't think about

a lot of the time when
they're living their normal lives is

how quickly all of that can go away
just with a natural disaster.

But because I have lived through that,
I have this awareness

of how special it is to have nice things,

to have a comfortable house,
and to feel safe in your neighborhoods.

I think it's a good experience to have had.
I wouldn't wish it on anyone,

and I'm not sure I'm glad
that it happened to me,

and I'm not glad that it happened to my city,

but, um, I'm sort of glad that I know
that I've lived through something terrible

and that I know that I could live
through it again.

So even though that's a loss
of innocence in one sense,

it's a gaining of strength at the same time.

(MAN SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

The most fabulous thing about this hurricane

is that my plant friends
who were stuck at ground level

began to grow after it had passed through.

Some of them had been waiting for 40 years.

(MAN 2 SPEAKING IN OTHER LANGUAGE)

How old is El Yunque?

30 million years old.

How many hurricanes have hit it? Ah.

We've counted around 15,000.

The hurricane is as important to the forest

as light and water.

(MAN SPEAKING IN OTHER LANGUAGE)

I realise that the hardship caused

by a weather disturbance like a hurricane

can bring fear to people's minds.

But when a hurricane comes,
it puts things back in place.

It doesn't have to be a curse,

a hurricane can also be
a blessing in your life.

Because I have seen the desire
for things to be different,

for tomorrow to be a better day.

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

LUCY: (IN ENGLISH) Without me,
the Earth would have no rivers,

no forests,

no prairies,

no fruits,

no flowers.

I make the air breathable.

I make the Earth inhabitable.

I make man possible.

My kind have walked this Earth
from an age beyond your comprehension.

My kind will walk this Earth until its end.

(WIND WHOOSHING)
