Assignment 10 - Katy

A few years ago there was news reports of odd wind patterns during the spring. The wind would pick up and it would rain and then go completely silent with no wind. I, a sixth grader thinking she knew everything, had just done a report on tornadoes and was convinced that I knew all the signs for tornadoes and knew exactly what to do in an emergency.
It was an average spring day, not too chilly, and I was walking with my friend. We were trying to walk through our neighborhood to see our friend Hunter. As we walked I looked at the sky and noticed it had a sudden green tint to it. "Does that look weird to you?" I asked my friend Tori.
"Nah, it's fine." She said. I believed her and we continued to walk.
Within moments the weather had changed. It had started raining and the wind had picked up considerably. "Do you think we should head back?" I asked warily.
"No, we're almost there." She convinced me to keep walking.
By the time we got close to 188 Masterson Station Dr. it was hailing and the wind was nearly knocking over my small body. "I really think we need to get inside," Tori shouted over the wind.
When suddenly, the emergency weather alarm went off over head. Our eyes grew wide and our hearts pounded. There was going to be a tornado.
The lady speaking on the alarm was saying to "get inside and to the lowest, most center part of the structure," and we were outside.
We started to run towards Hunter's house, finally seeing it. We rang the doorbell and prayed desperately that he answered quickly.
But he didn't. He didn't answer at all.
He wasn't home.
And we were stranded outside in the middle of a tornado. We both shook with fear and panic as the hail fell harder and the temperature dropped.


So... like any reasonable person would do, I called my dad and he picked me up in two minutes.
THE END. :)
