Surge

chapter1

  It was a normal day in the suburbs of Miami, the warm winds brought sweet smells from the ocean nearby,And the smell of ozone signified thunderstorms were coming later in the evening. However, all of this was happening outside of Joe's house, and it was not a normal day for him.

  Joe had been in his room when the news came. His usual music was interrupted by the blaring sound of an emergency alert. It reported, "The national weather service issues a hurricane warning to the following major cities: Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Charleston. Evacuate immediately".  As if on cue, thunder erupted from above startling Joe's older sister, molly, in the room next to him. Molly came running into his room, looking quite shaken and commanded Joe to get into the car. As Joe was running down the stairs, he heard a quiet ere rumbling in the distance, the thought that he had to get out caused him to dismiss this thought immediately.

  Molly and Joe drove in there old van away from the ocean as fast a possible, but the nagging thought of the rumbling he had heard earlier kept nagging him, in fact, it seemed to be getting louder, a roar more than a rumbling noise. "Molly", Joe asked, "can you hear the rumbling noise in the distance". Of course this was a stupid question, molly had lost most of her hearing years ago when she had complications with an ear infection. "no, why don't you check the radio, they might have something about it", Molly replied. Joe turned the radio on to 590 A.M Joe's local disaster advisory station, It stated, "-rge rolling through downtown Miami, evacuate to the highest ground possible in your area.

  "Surge is the only word that makes context in the situation" Joe thought.

  "Stop the car!" ,Joe yelled urgently. He looked at his sister, she had a shocked look on her face, she slammed on the breaks."What? Molly exclaimed , "why, would we stop, we're trying to get away". "Just trust me" he stated urgently.

  "You still haven't answered my questi-", "we have to go!" Joe cut her off harshly.

  He opened the door and sprinted to the nearest building, molly right behind him.
