Yesterday’s rainstorm was unforgettable. At 3 p.m., dark clouds covered the sky. My parents were cooking in the kitchen, while I was reading in my room. Suddenly, the wind blew strongly, and rain beat against the windows. My little sister cried in fear. We huddled together, listening to the thunder. The power went off, so we lit candles. After the storm, we found the garden in a mess. Although scared, it was an experience we shared as a family.
