You Can Never Predict What Life Is Going At You

I was only 9 years old when the Black Blizzard came crashing through my town and destroyed everything there. Now, I am 21 and I still remember that long journey and the time it took us to finally find a home, I have lived in sunny California 12 years and if it wasn’t for the storm I wouldn’t be a successful doctor right now, so, in some ways the storm was a positive for me and my

It was one fairly sunny day in Houston Texas It started to get windy then it started to rain. All of a sudden it started to storm hard then the wind got stronger all of a sudden it started pouring people that were watching the news had alarms going off. And then the storm sirens started to go then the people of houston knew they were in trouble now people and families were scared the storm was horrible the people of houston knew it was a hurricane. The storm lasted around five hours.

In 1941 we were moved into a small apartment in a ghetto. The getto was run down and was surrounded by a barbed wire fence. I noticed that in the side of the fence there was a small hole that was big ebough for a girl like me to get through. I thought that, that could be my escape plan If anything went wrong. I had to tell my family about it that we could all escape together. We walked into and apartment and it turns out that we were in a room with 12 other

One day I was in class and a tornado erupted 17 miles away. Alex Ogle and William Burnett went outside with me and somebody came by and picked us up and dropped us off on an island. We were stranded on an island. We were safe until the tornado was over.

Their house was about an hour away and it was raining hard. When we finally reached their house, Eric and his friends ran to the store to buy big sheets of plywood to protect the windows. The house was totally covered and I thought this must be what it is like to live in a cocoon, but at the same time it was claustrophobic, I just wanted to yell “let me out”. We had enough food, bottled water, candles and flashlights to weather the storm. There was two camping stoves in the kitchen to cook food in the event of a power outage. We were ready for the hurricane to hit so we passed the time playing games and making forts with blankets and pillows.

I was about six years old, in Cancun, Mexico for Spring Break in the Month of March. My family and I were staying at a huge resort filled with many fun things to do.We had been waiting for this family trip for months; I was excited to get out of the cold Minnesota weather and into tropical heat. We were in our hotel room getting ready for dinner with my two sisters, my mom and dad. I felt the heat all over my body, like I had been standing directly in front of the sun, So I went to open the hotel window to feel the cool breeze and to see the ocean view. As I walked to open the window my mom said “Morgan be careful, the wind is so strong if you open the hotel door, close the window because the door will slam shut; but I only thought about myself and I responded with a sassy comment, “Okay Mom.”

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.

When we heard about the storm coming this way my family immediately started to make travel plans to some place safe. Once they found somewhere safe enough from the storm they came to tell my cousins and I that we were going to Chattanooga, Tennessee and we were wondering why so far. We all began to pack and once we were all done, everyone met at my grandmother’s house and split into three trucks. Everything was smooth sailing until we got to the Huey P. bridge they had lots and lots of traffic which

Well I didn't know what to do so I sold the house for money,but that money went by fast.I officially thought I was the most unluckiest kid to live. I was hungry and I didn't know what to do I had no more family,and I was freezing. I think it was about midnight, and I was walking on Acol road. While I was walking a marble rolled to my feet, and then I heard a pssst!

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.

There we were in a house that was so cold and alone. Only one month before the storm hit I was there with a bunch of friends enjoying my world and my life and this house saw so much laughter, fun and good friends come together. It was alive!

It was time for us racers to go to bed since we had to get up early the next morning for the race. My best friend and I were sharing a tent. We climbed in, got undressed and crawled into our sleeping bags. I could

It was a dark, stormy afternoon when I alone faced the greatest fear of my life. It was thundering outside, and the sky was draped in dark rolling thunderheads. The weather was forecasted to get worse with severe chances of a hurricane. I was on vacation with my family at Florida, and we were staying at a hotel in Miami.

Hurricane season kicked off the same for me as it had every year, a lot of false alarms and small storms struck in my area just outside of New Orleans. Occasionally there would be a storm threatening enough for my family to evacuate north into the heart of Cajun country, where my sister and I would spend a good portion of our three hour drive crudely laughing at jokes of which buildings would still be standing on our way back. We were young and had

The unpacking took a long time we had to pick our rooms and then bring our things in them. I picked the upstairs room, it had a bathroom and a big closet. The room was isolated from the rest of the family and in my old house our rooms were close by each other, so I moved to a room down stairs since it felt weird. It was odd living in a new place, at least at my grandma’s house I had visited it before. It was different having a basement since in Florida if you dug out a basement it would flood with water from the sea. It took awhile but we finally unpacked all our things and it was almost time to start school. We got my sister and I enrolled for school at Horizon Elementary School. The rest of that summer went fast, before I knew it I was going to my first day of school of fourth grade. I started to make new friends and it turned out it wasn’t so bad to move to
