1000pm
Two years ago, my village had a strong thunderstorm. Dark thunder clouds were racing in the sky and strong wind won blowing. The sudden gas of win raised clouds of red dust . The sky darkened and it threatened to rain but the weather held. Then, the rain come. First in big, heavy drops that were sharp as spilleters then in pouring sheet. The water was overflowing and the drains full with water. The water seeped into our house. Realizing to that situation, we quickly turned off all the electricity and gas in our house. We gathered all the valuable and important document such as cheque, birth certificate, and identical card at a higher and safe place. As the flood become massive,we as fast as lightning took shelter onto the roof of our house. The weather fell apart and it started raining cats and dogs. The thunderstorm finally abated. The police arrived on boat to rescue us. All the villagers had to evacuate to the relief centre. After few days, the water was subsided and we returned home. We cleaned our house together. It took a lot of effort in order to bring back the cleanliness of our house.
