Disaster hits village !

Three years ago something terrible happened in my
hometown.
It all begun one evening when I was sitting and
watching on the local TV station. They interrupted
the tv program I was watching, with an extra
weather forecast. They said that there was a
hurricane coming our way. They told us that we
had to stay inside our houses, and that the best
would be that we went into a room in the basement
without windows. The hurricane was expected
within the next five hours. When my mother found
out that my little brother was outside, she panicked,
an ran out to look for him. For two hours she drove
around looking for him, But when she came home
he where already at home. We went down into the
basement. We walked over to a corner and sat
down. We spent several hours there, just sitting
there listening to the storm. When we heard that the
storm was over so we went outside.
It was not a pretty sight that waited for us. Almost
the whole village was destroyed. It was only the old
houses witch where standing. Fortunately our house
was one of the old solid houses.
We started helping the nabours clearing their
properties.
We thought that everything was over, but no.
All of a sudden the ground started shaking, more
and more. I heard someone scream «It´s an
earthquake». I ran towards the house, but I never
got inside. All of a sudden something fell in my
head, and I passed out. The next thing I now I´m
laying in my bed. I get up and looks out the
window. Everything so far I can see is destroyed,
exept from our house. It was built on solid ground.
The earthquake had filled the village with water.
It took years to restore the village.
