Tornadoes-Personal Narrative

I remember that storm as clear as day, I had just sat down for breakfast that fateful Sunday morning before church, when I felt a cold wind coming from the crack in the window

It was May 22, 2011 when the Joplin tornado hit. I wasn’t there I was only six years old when it happened. But i’m going to tell a story that is part of a real story but the people in it are not real. It started with an eight year old boy his name was Jackie Anderson he has two twin sisters. There names were Victoria and Katrina they were born five months ago. He also has one older brother and his name was Austin. He is thirteen years old. He is in seventh grade at Pleasant Valley middle school. Jackie is home schooled when he gets into the 5th grade he will go to school. It was 3:35 pm a couple of hours before it hit. He was at the table finishing his math when he saw a clouds a couple miles away from his house.

Explanatory essay When I was 10 years old, I walked into a scary apartment with a cemetery in the back with me brother and his friends. The wind was blowing so hard like someone was giving me a sign not to go in but I did. When I went in the the apartment there was a sign that said “beware” in red colors. My brother and his friends when into a room with burnt doll heads.

One day it was a normal day when it got really dark all the clouds were getting together and when you herd the lightning go BOOM!!.And everyone was scared and they all screamed when there was a lot I am telling you a lot of WIND .It was really winded outside and when the ground started,to form into a little cloud shape and people know it was a tornado that was going to happens and it went all around the house and they all went into trash.

My family and I felt exhausted after driving three days across the country from Albuquerque, New Mexico to California, Maryland.  We were about a half hour from our hotel when the skies turned dark and it started to rain. The raindrops hit the road so hard I thought the road would crack open and swallow our car.  There was lightning all around us and my younger sister Skyler and I thought we would be struck through the glass. We both were so scared we started crying.  I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest and I screamed: "we are going to die". I learned that day that the rubber on the tires would ground the car and no way could we be hit by lightning. Usually when a parent tells you in ten minutes it’s more like 20-30 minutes

One day I woke up feeling good. I wasn't worried about anything happening until I turned on my tv. As I'm changing the channel to the news its talking about us having a tornado. I was shocked when I found out. My whole day was ruined I sure didn't see this coming . The tornado was going to hit my house less than 30 minutes. That was enough time to get all the things I would to survive the tornado. I start finding soft things because I know That I'm going to be in the closet for a while. I get my pillow to sit on. I search on Google how to survive a tornado and it pulls up different ways to survive. I finally seen how some people survived a tornado so i just put a lot of soft things in the closet. As you can see I wasn't too prepared

We were all scared. My grandpa, dad and I running straight into the track. The only thought there was in my mind was, he isn 't okay. Making sure that he turns over and lays on his back as someone calls 911, I left to go get the cart from the trailer. As I left the track to get it, I start crying, fearing the worst. I run back the track and have my dad help me put the car on the trailer cart and pull it back to the trailer and run back to my uncle. As I got back to my uncle, he was talking some intolerable words. After a few minuets, I heard my name from him.

There was one severe weather even that had happened during my childhood while growing up in the south tip of Texas. It is an experience I would never forget.

When I got home I had barely stepped inside when I heard this loud whirring, a tornado siren. I immediately headed down into the basement and hid. There were loud booms and I heard crashing. After a few minutes of the bombardment, half of the ceiling came crashing down onto the basement floor. As I scurried away from the wreckage, another pile of debris crashed down on me and I

It was a cold and dark night in October when my friend and I took a trip to Fright Fest at Six Flags. Ahh!! Screams were all I heard when I approached the park. So, when I went into the park I was really nervous that a monster would pop right at me. When we got in the park I heard a chainsaw right next to me, I screamed really loud that I almost blew my friend’s ear drums out.

     A tornado is a violent rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground. The most violent tornadoes can produce massive destruction with wind speeds of 250 miles per hour or more. The typical tornado moves from southwest to northeast, but they have been known to move in any direction. The average forward speed of a tornado is 30 miles per hour but it may vary from stationary to 70 miles per hour. Although tornadoes occur in many parts of the world, they are found most frequently in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains during the spring and summer months. In an average year, 800 tornadoes are reported nationwide, resulting in 80 deaths and over 1,500 injuries.

It was a Monday morning March 12, 2012 my parents would watch the news every morning and the forecast was severe scattered storms for the morning hours. Heading to School on the bus I can hear the thunder booming and cracking and the rain hitting the bus sounded like rocks. Today was testing day for the fifth graders for the Leap test, a test mandatory to pass to go to the next grade. Loud thundering stuns me and the whole class during the test, so she checks the weather and told us it was just passing through.

It was a normal day, beautiful even. The sky was clear, it was warm, you wouldn't ever think that today would take multiple lives. There were no clouds in the sky. Little did I know how much my life, and the inhabitants of my hometown, was going to change.
