The wind was roaring like it was a tiger pouncing upon it's prey. I get under a blanket, under a table, then CRASH!!! the wall blows out and hail rushes inside. The deafening roar of the tornado was indescribable.
It all started on a warm day in Nebraska. My family and I were watching the news. We had noticed that there was a tornado watch issued from the National Weather Service, but we didn't think much of it. Later in the day, large cumulus clouds had started to build up, and the sky had quickly become overcast. My nephew, who was visiting from Minnesota, ran outside to play in the mud and rain, followed by his brother who had come with him. "Don't get sick!" my mother mother called out through the door. She walked over to me and told me to go outside and watch them. I nodded, and obeyed. There was a fresh breeze outside and it felt about 89 degrees, which was quite comfortable.
After about an hour the rain began to get harder and the wind was close to gale. Mother opened the door and called for us to go in. I yelled for my nephews and the ran inside with muddy clothes. "Get outside now you little monsters! Clean off your shoes at least!" she yelled. I helped my nephews to get their shoes clean and noticed that one had a scrape. "Let's not let it get infected" I told him. I then called to mother and asked her if she could take care of his scrape.
It was then that I was just closing the door when it started to hail. We had just moved here and weren't very educated about tornadoes, but I didn't notice this was the signs of a strong thunderstorm. "Hey, everyone, you need to see this" my father called to us. "What is it?" I asked. "Tornado warning for our county" he replied. I froze in terror. I did not know what to do. "Get on to the National Weather Service site Laura" My father told my mother.
After a few minutes my mother has logged on to the site. "It advises we get to a room in the center of our-" She paused. "Do you hear that?" A slight roaring sound had brewed. "That's the storm!" I yelled, "Get under a table or something! It works with 'quakes". We all rushed under a table, and that's when it grew louder... And louder... I felt like the roof was going to fly off!
The wind was roaring like it was a tiger pouncing upon it's prey. I get under a blanket, under a table, then CRASH!!! the wall blows out and hail rushes inside. The deafening roar of the tornado was indescribable.
