STORM STORIES

In the stormy weather I covered my ears then I looked outside and told mum that the garage door was almost in the shed. Boom! Boom! I went back to bed and covered my ears again and it did not work. The storm wasn’t as good but it wasn’t that bad. We had a power cut and then the power turned back on and I laughed at myself. Alex

A lucky escape

One day the storm came. At first it was spitting but it got even worse. Smash! Bash! Crash! I was scared but I kept on riding my bike along the track. Suddenly I came to a halt. What was this? A fallen down tree. Then neowwww! Crack! Bang! Another tree fell down and it snapped right in front of me. Luckily no one was hurt! Gabriel

The big storm

It all started when it was spitting and then one minute later it started to pour down. We could not see anything. When the wind was whistling it was like a door creaking.

The beer bottle blew up and up then when it fell down it shattered like an egg. Glass was everywhere. We had to wear gumboots or shoes out there. I did not take one step out there. It was scary. The lightning was yellow like the sun. Cuban

Scary Strong Storm

In the morning, me and my dad went outside to go and chop a tree down because it was just about to fall on our house. So we did go outside. I opened up the door. The wind went whoosh! Everything was blowing around like a tornado. When I walked down the steps my mouth opened up wide. I quickly ran back up the steps. Kane

The Ferocious Storm

Boom! Crash! “What was that?” I asked mummy. “That was the wind.” she said. I was watching T.V. at that moment. Then we had a power cut and we couldn’t watch T.V and daddy couldn’t do his work on the computer. An hour later I looked out the window and saw the neighbours’ paddock was flooded. Nikita

The Stormy Day

It was a stormy day for the houses in the stormy shivering day. There was a flood over next door. My dad went to work. The power went off. We couldn’t watch television. The trees cracked. Dad got home before the storm got stronger. He brought pies to eat. The wind was howling and growling and howling. Then the power came on. We were really, really happy. The storm was gone. In the night it came back. Our trees were nearly gone. In the morning trees fell down. It was awful. Then the water went away. The storm went away for a couple of days. Casey
