SANDY STRIKES….. 5th May What a terrible night! It was 11 o’clock and I was sleeping. Suddenly, I heard a loud bang. I realized it was thunder, and I jumped out of bed! I ran to the window and saw that it was raining heavily. The wind was blowing and the trees were swaying. Then, my mother came into my bedroom. She looked very shocked and she was shaking. ’’Hurricane Sandy is coming!’’ she cried. We ran downstairs into the basement where we were safe from the storm. The wind was so strong that the whole house was shaking. Outside, we could hear windows smashing. It was terrifying! 6th May We spent all of last night in the basement. When we finally came out in the morning, we were surprised by what we saw. The streets were flooded, there were power lines on the ground and our car lay under a fallen tree. All across town, the sirens of the emergency services were wailing while people were clearing up the mess in their homes and gardens. Luckily our house wasn’t too badly damaged. There was only some glass on the floor, and rubbish on our lawn. Thankfully, no one was hurt. As we were cleaning up the lawn, I suddenly heard a little yelp. It was coming from under the porch. I went to get a closer look and couldn’t believe my eyes! There before me was a tiny white puppy. It was shivering and covered in mud. When it saw me, it jumped into my arms. It’s such a miracle that this little dog survived such a terrible storm!
