| Ever since I was a little, storms have always been in my life. As a child I remember growing up and watching huge storms from my back sliding doors. The biggest incident that I remember was when I was about six years old. I was in my neighbor’s back yard playing catch with a football. All of a sudden the sky just got pitch black towards the river, which was only about a block from my house. I was stuck throwing against the wind, which was impossible. The wind started blowing so hard that I couldn’t get the ball to my friend. The ball just got caught in mid air, and came flying right back towards me. My babysitter by this time was shouting my name from my house. I took off running towards my house, I thought I was going to pee my pants because I was so scared. As I was running under an apple tree, a branch had swung down and knocks me right on my butt. By that time I started crying because I was so scared and frightened. I made it home safely and hid down in our basement. I was told there was a tornado that caused all that. It had landed right across the river on the Nebraska side. |
