On the night of June 8, I was watching a late night TV show with my family.We got a little nervous when the TV news said that there might be a severe thunderstorm.But there are often bad storms in June, so we all watched the end of the TV show and went to bed.(1)_______________________.It was so bright that the whole room turned white.I heard a sound that was like a hundred airplanes flying past the house.I had never heard such a noise in all my life.Suddenly, the whole house began to shake, and the floor under me seemed to fall away.I knew I should get to the basement, but it was too late.(2)_______________________.After ten minutes, the tornado was over.I was so frightened that I couldn't move.When I finally opened my eyes, everything was dark and it was raining hard.I could hear people shouting. I began to look for my family.I found my parents lying under some pieces of wood.They were alive and not badly hurt. It was an unbelievable miracle.My sisters had cuts, but they were OK too — another miracle.(3)_______________________.There was still lightening and a strong wind, but no rain.By 2∶00 a.m. the first ambulances arrived.In their lights we could see what was left of our town.Our house, our neighbors' houses, the trees, the stores, the school, and all that I knew were gone.
