Athar Story

“About midnight, while we still sat up, the storm came rattling over the Heights in full fury. There was a violent wind, as well as thunder, and either one or the other split a tree off at the corner of the building: a huge bough fell across the roof, and knocked down a portion of the east chimney sack, sending a clatter of stones and soot in the kitchen fire. We thought a bolt had fallen in the middle of us.”

     We left quickly walking fast and practically running toward the gondolas so we wouldn’t be stuck on the mountain all night long. By now the storm was close and so was the lightning. The people at the station loaded the four of us into a gondola and we slowly worked our way down the mountain. Hanging in this tiny box of metal by a hook on a wire cable was not the most reassuring thing. I looked out the window hoping to see the ground, but it was too dark. I could barely see the hand in front my own face. Lightning would flash, and all I could make out were the tops of trees. Paranoia overwhelmed me. My breaths seemed to become further and further apart as time slowed. As I was trying to relieve my mind of worst case scenario, a big flash and enormous rumble sounded. We stopped moving. Our gondola had

“The community broke into complete chaos. Everybody and everything was out of order. When the wave of painful memories hit, the people dropped to the floor and held their heads in excruciating pain. We should have thought this through more carefully Jonas. I would never have believed that such anarchy could become in such a peaceful community. But the memories were too harsh. Riots were started. Fires burnt down the buildings. Some jumped into the river and died just

The chill of winter air had nudged her from her slumber. Gazing through the window upon the dreary horizon, the blur of gray told Hulga that rain was nearing. Nervously, she backed into the corner away from the window and curled up next to a pile of hay and settled in. Soon after repositioning herself, Hulga heard the consistent patter of rain on the roof of the barn. Her eyes watered as she wondered if her mother had been frantically searching for her.

It is pretty strange when Tretheway has not been ridden out the storm at that time, yet her ability to extend that empathy to the local residents is undeniable. Thetheway refacts all the deaths and “bodies washed away” (65) through the lens of witnesses – her family and the whole community – with emotional depth and

Wow, I did not expect this to happen. As my son and I grab all of our belongings and put all of the furniture in the attic where it won't get water damage we hurry to get out.”Jack get the dogs and put them in their crates while I get the jet skis ready.” Have you ever seen so much water! That picture is of my house underwater, sad right. It is August 25, 2017 and the huge amount of water just hit our house. As we get on the jet skis with cloths, money, 2 dogs, and some belongings my son and I start bawling and yelling; we don't know if we'll ever step foot in our house again.

God then closed the doors and began to flood the after a week from entering the Ark. Rain poured and the ocean flooded for 40 days and nights. As the world flooded, everything perished. Humans, animals, and everything else that was living. Eventually it was just Noah and all those who had in habited the ark who were still alive. The water remained for a total 150 days. After a 150 days God began to have the waters recede.

As soon as word of the camp flood spread, the road to the church was trafficked with hundreds of people bringing food, warm socks, clothes, toiletries, blankets, and everything necessary for basic survival. One important fact to note about Cowen, West Virginia is that the residents live under the poverty line, and the nearest gas station is forty minutes away. Yet, families told the counselors that they cleared out their trailers and their houses of all the blankets they could find to give us everything they had. Dollar stores stayed open two hours later than normal for a two-hour radius around the church so people could bring everything they could afford.

Villagers who live in Mooreland believe that the efforts of the Environment Agency were too little, too late when it came to help prevent the village from flooding. The villagers understand that the village would have flooded either way, but they believe

Only royal road was only for nobles or messengers. The village walked all day only stopping for four hours everyday. The king obviously wanted to rush us there for something important. I didn’t think too much of it because all I did was look at the sky all day. She was my only friend. As days pass by, so did the villagers spirit. They had never liked this trek in the first place. Their bleeding feet told without words. One even started begging the soldiers. The soldier didn’t give her anything, but he did give meat for the wolves. “This kingdom is ruled by fear,” I thought to myself. More days have passed and more bodies have fallen, seven in total. All were just peasants trying to make a living. The village let out a heavy sigh when we finally reach the castle. It was sturdy castle, but definitely outdated. Any nation in the world can destroy it in a few days. All around the castle were slaves picking apples in cruel conditions. It was actually better than some jobs like farmer. They had enough food and could always rely on shelter. The funny thing was that they tried not to look at us. That’s when I realize they were actually trying to hide their faces. Something was wrong here and only one person was to blame, King

It was a muggy summer’s evening and of course with her luck, there was a curtain-like downpour of rain as she made a dash to her car. Distracted and irate, Maria drove into the grey twilight of nightfall with the limited vision the weather

Trees I didn’t see any body so I was worried. Then we found the whole city in a storm shelters underground. (1 tornado) (2 after tornado) It felt weird because knowing that all of these people will lose their houses. I saw things I will never forget it was really fast the speedometer said it was going 235 mph. I heard it was loud and breaking houses was even louder we had headphones to protect or

Hurricane? The news sure thought so, but it simply could not be true. How long had they looked at the weather to ensure a pleasant forecast for their little excursion? How many radio stations on the way down to the lake predicted clear skies and sun for the next few days at least? Where was this information when they arrived at the pleasant, 2 story log cabin with blue windows and a well-worn welcome mat with semblances of their smiling family of four; surrounded by towering pine trees and multicolor wild flowers, or as they bounded down the twenty seven stone steps to the faded white pier. Nevertheless, the wind didn 't seem to recall those precautions, or times of blissful ignorance. Derek 's parents were on the porch of the cabin, reclining and enjoying some lemonade and a book up until then. At the time, Derek had been far out on the lake, which was fairly substantial in area, teaching his little brother how to fish. Due to the suddenness and severity of the storm, they were caught unawares, and by the time they had collected themselves to begin paddling back, it was clearly too late.

So we get my sisters and head to my brother Coreys apartment in the French Colony. My dad and my older brother had to go to our house through the flood water to save our dogs and some things we needed. They Both get back Soaking wet with watermarks up to their chest and they had to put the dogs in the trashcan, and the rescue boats wouldn't take them because they had dogs. One of the dogs was taken by a rescue place and they put him in a shelter, they later had to put him down.

A girl, her dad and a little boy got lost at sea, they were going on a boat trip and there was an explosion.
