For my twelfth birthday,  my best friend Ali and I went to Sioux Falls with my mom to shop and eat. We went to Chucky Cheese and were having a blast when all the sudden an announcement came on and said that we all needed to seek shelter in the building because a tornado was coming. So we hid in the bathroom. After the storm had past we decided to try and go home. We were driving home and were about half way back when more bad weather came. We saw funnel clouds and tornadoes everywhere! So we had to stop at the nearest gas station and once again take cover in the bathroom. I was young and scared out of my mind. Soon it all past and i realized it was going to be okay. Since then I always remember that tornados with come and go and it will always get better!
