story - A Horrible Day
By:
Matheus Souza
The day started out as a regular hot and
humid summer day in June of 2001. It was a quiet day; all you could
hear were the trees dancing around with the wind. But that day was
about to change. An event was about to happen that shock many
people, especially me!
We were coming from church when my family and I noticed the weather
changing rapidly fast. From a magnificent, light blue sky, to a
dark, scary, evil sky. The clouds hiding the sun like huge dark
curtains. Lightning was constantly falling from the clouds to the
ground like leaves tumble from a tree in the fall. Soon it had
started raining.
As soon as we got home, I went to the balcony to get a better look
of what was going on. I felt scarred and concerned with what was
going on. As I look up to the sky, I see a neighbor also looking at
the sky, on a telephone looking very alarmed. I finally have my eyes
glued to the clouds like a bird to a feather, they stacked together.
I see the clouds dancing round and round like ballerinas and coming
down very rapidly. Soon, rain started falling down from the sky as
hard as it could. I turn on the TV trying to find out if there was a
real danger. As I try to go and reach to turn on the television, I
hear this incredible loud noise from the ceiling as if a herd of
elephants we running around upstairs. I look out the window and I
see little white rocks on the ground. Hail had started coming down
from the sky, falling down at the speed of light, destroying car
windows and trees. It was a very scary time.
Thankfully, after a while, the stormed had passed and fortunately
there we no major damages. I later read on the papers that there was
a tornado very near us, but thank God it didn’t come too close to
us.
