SORROW

The clouds rolled in,

Turning the sky into a dark gray,

The wind blew strong,

The trees shivered in coldness,

The sky cried,

Lightning bolts strike,

BOOM, CRACKLE, SNAP the thunder went,

Sirens roared in warning,

A monstrous cloud rolled in,

Spinning until it hit the ground,

Some went into their basement or safe room,

Some went into an empty closet or a hallway,

Mothers and father holding onto their children and each other,

Trying to stay together,

The wind was too strong,

For some it was too much they couldn’t hold on long enough,

The wind blowing homes off their foundation and shredded the homes,

People praying for their loved ones lives,

When the tornado faded away,

Families dug through rubble,

Looking for their loved ones,

Some were found alive,

 But some were found dead,

This was a terrible disaster we will soon never forget,
