LONGV

A Thunder Vacation By: Long Vu      On December 26, about 5PM its dark because the sunset on the snowy horizon. There were some roads and stores closed because of the icy heavy snow. The power almost went out, but just seconds a glow of red lines flashed. The temperature suddenly ran over 54 degree F, and thirty knots of wind. The dark sky rose over the area, thunder strikes came from the sky. At 8PM, as the dark covered the moon. At 10PM, there was snow, now the whole town covered by water. The water raised around 12 feet. The crazy water broke the windows to let water busted in. I could imagine that the heavy flood went through the woods to come to our town. I built a compartment in order from smallest to largest, so when the water went in, I smashed the compartment in one place to the bottom. The staircase was missing badly a section without mats. The back walls were ripped off and almost collapsed. At 6AM the sun came out, I got rest and had food from the emergency disaster supply kit. Now I could see the flood ruined everything, it knocked down some tall trees and the dirt kicked up. I found a giant piece of desk, kitchen tables. The staircase was found three blocks away, the bottom parts were missing and many other stuff everywhere. The airports closed, and flights were delayed because of the severe weather. I could not get home on time. I had winter break and it was my awful vacation!
