Surviving a Rainstorm
Last week, a rainstorm hit my hometown.
I was riding home after school when the dark clouds suddenly gathered. There was a huge noise of thunder ahead and wind began to blow harder and harder. A rainstorm was coming! I remembered learning about this in Mr. Li’s geography class. I stayed away from big trees and rode along a direct passage to the nearest store. The rain started pouring down right after I got inside. After about half an hour, the rain seemed to become lighter, but it was still quite dark outside. I decided to wait. Finally, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up. When I stepped out of the store and saw a few large trees fall on the cars, my face paled with fear. Luckily, no one was hurt.
