Three days had passed and Rita seemed to get weaker and weaker. The rain had stopped. However, the sky was still cloudy, and it was so dark that I couldn39。t see the buildings even across the road. I took a pressure reading from the weather station: 947mb, which let me know exactly where I was—in the eye of the storm. There were rains and winds still, but not oppressive (難以忍受的)anymore. There was still no power, hot water or food. Besides, I didn39。t sleep well for all these days, but I felt more relaxed since the weather report said Rita was leaving. What39。s more, I was luckier than those people who had lost their homes or even worse, lost their lives because of Rita. As I travelled further to the west, going after the storm, the damage along the way became less severe. I arrived in Houston after a tricky journey with my fuel supplies almost all gone. However, I came across another storm chaser (追逐者) who had 45 gallons of petrol. He helped me and we shared our working experience these days. With a plete stroke of luck I found a rundown hotel that allowed me to have a room overnight before the midnight. Although there was no running water, no power and no air conditioning, I curled up into a corner and fell asleep quickly. I woke up the next morning, and what a change! The sky was blue and cars were moving around. Sirens could be heard as convoys (護(hù)航隊) of emergency managements started to head west towards where I had e from. The storm had stopped and I could go home. I gave all my remaining supplies to other people at the hotel and headed towards the airport. Houston Airport was not damaged, so I took my flight and drank my first hot drink in four days. All in all, when I came back home, I was proud that I finally made it again to follow and record the storm and I really learned a lot these days. Although it39。s dangerous, I love my job as not many people would go into the eye of an intense storm.（1）We can know from the passage that “Rita” is ________.
