Personal Writing: Disaster Hits Village !

Three years ago something terrible happened in my hometown.

It all begun one evening when I was sitting and watching on the local TV station.

They interrupted the tv program I was watching, with an extra weather forecast.

They said that there was a hurricane coming our way. They told us that we had to

stay inside our houses, and that the best would be that we went into a room in

the basement without windows. The hurricane was expected within the next five

hours. When my mother found out that my little brother was outside, she panicked,

an ran out to look for him. For two hours she drove around looking for him, But

when she came home he where already at home. We went down into the basement. We

walked over to a corner and sat down. We spent several hours there, just sitting

there listening to the storm. When we heard that the storm was over so we went

outside.

It was not a pretty sight that waited for us. Almost the whole village was

destroyed. It was only the old houses witch where standing. Fortunately our

house was one of the old solid houses. We started helping the nabours clearing

their properties.

We thought that everything was over, but no. All of a sudden the ground started

shaking, more and more. I heard someone scream “It’s an earthquake”. I ran

towards the house, but I never got inside. All of a sudden something fell in my

head, and I passed out. The next thing I now I’m laying in my bed. I get up and

looks out the window. Everything so far I can see is destroyed, except from our

house. It was built on solid ground. The earthquake had filled the village with

water. It took years to restore the village.
