One day last June, it started raining hard and it didn't stop. The
news report said that around 2 months worth of rain fell in just 8
hOurs and caused terrible flooding.
I remember that day really well. At around 10 o'clock in the
evening, there was a knock on the door. I answered the door and
our neighbour, Mr Stevens, told us to leave our house because he
was afraid the river would burst its banks and flood the town. My
mother got dressed quickly and went to get the car out of the
garage, while I ran across the street to warn the neighbours. My
mother met me with the car and we drove to the hill where we
were safe. Suddenly, we heard the terrible roar of the water as it
knocked the lampposts down, and everything went dark. This
was about 11 :15 pm. We sat in our car until daylight came. Then
we went home.
There was a lot of damage to our house and to other houses in
the neighbourhood. The first floor of our house was completely
underwater. We had to throw away most of our fumiture, and we
lost all of our old pictures, which was very sad. It took us the rest
of the summer to clean the house and garden. It was a terrible
experience but we were all so relieved that we were safe.
