Scariest Experience
Here I am sitting in the living room. The sky outside looks like a yellowish greyish color. There's a storm coming. My mom is a nervous reck. She is pacing the house. The weather is on. I'm so confused. I have no idea what is going on. She tells me it's all going to be okay. My mom has gathered pillows and blankets and some supplies and throws them in the bathroom. Suddenly I hear sirens. Mom then grabs my baby brother and tells me to follow her in the bathroom. So I sit down in the bath tub with pillows surrounding me. My brother is sitting on one side of me, I hold his hand. My mom is sitting by the ledge holding me and my brother as tightly as she could. She's praying and crying. I have no idea what is going on. My heart is racing. I start to cry. I think that I'm going to die that we all are going to die. All of a sudden I hear the wind. It sounds abnormally powerful. I can hear my mom telling me and my brother to calm down, that everything is going to be okay and that this is all going to be over soon. Debris is flying every where outside as we hear it hit the side of the house. We can hear trees snapping. We can hear our front door opening and slamming. The shingles of our roof are ripping off. Just about a minute or two has passed of hearing the wind whooshing violently outside the house. All of a sudden mom realeases us from her arms. She says, "it's all over, but I'm going to check and see if everything is okay so just stay here." So my brother and I are sitting in the bath tub. Austin seems to be crying and is shaking. I take him in my arms. "It's okay." I said. It is taking my mom awhile to get back. I'm getting really nervous and scared. I told my brother I'll be back. He laid down in the tub with pillows covering him. I step out of the bathroom and run through the house. As soon as I stepped out of the house I see debris everywhere in the front lawn. I just realize that we just had a tornado. My mom is on the phone describing the damage. I assume it was my grandma or somebody. I see our shingles cover the backyard. Our neighbors tree was snapped in half and in their yard. My mom notices I'm outside and runs in the house to company my brother who was sitting in the bathroom alone. He was screaming bloody murder. I rush to my mom. She just sat my brother in the living room, gave him a kiss on the cheek and she turns around and hugs me. "I'm so glad we're safe." She finally says.
