On a nice autumn morning in colorado I woke up to the crisp morning air and smell of sausage.
"Hi mom", I said ,"What's for breakfast."
"Sausage and pancakes" she said.
"Ok, I said "when are we leaving"
"10:30" she said with a hint of joy in her words. After breakfast I started packing for Miami,Florida. I was so excited to see my grandma Jane. We left in a rush and we made it to the plane and we were off. I felt a little queasy taking off.
4 hours later we landed in Miami,Florida and when we got to the pick up we saw our grandmas car and drove to her house. It started to get a little stormy and windy and I heard the rain pounding on the roof and windows. That night I couldn't sleep at all because of the rain and the 130 MPH winds. When I woke up the rain pounded harder and the wind faster, I looked outside and saw this massive hurricane coming in. I woke up my parents.There is a hurricane coming in. I said with fear in my voice.
We can't leave all flights are canceled. Dad sayed with frustration in his voice.
The town is already evacuated, why did they forget us? I said with sorrow
Dad shrugged, we will just have to rough it out
I will collect all the canned foods for safety just in case the power goes out. I said.
I put all the canned foods in a plastic bag. I started to cook up some pancakes for my grandma and looked outside. The hurricane has begun, I thought to myself. I hope we live through this
By noon the hurricane had destroyed most of the street and more than half of the town, our house was missing all of our roof tiles and some of the wall.
I think it's over. I said with joy
Nope, My dad said with sorrow it's still here, I can tell from the sky and the roads alone, plus people would be back in the city cleaning up the wreckage.
Three hours later I felt the ground shake and screaming from inside the kitchen, I ran to go see what was up, all I saw was roof, tile, and blood.
I was horrified by the sight of my parents and grandma dead on the floor smashed as flat as a pancake. I heard the sound of water, I went outside and saw water rising fast. I need to make it to high elevation . I said scared out of my mind.
Luckily there is a speed boat one house over that I can Hijack and make it to safety before the sea animals come to shore. I said. The water was already up to my head so there was only one thing to do, swim to the speedboat and try to make it to safety, or die trying. Ok one small problem, I said to myself. What direction should I go?
I started the speedboat and started to ride east. After an hour I remember I need to go west, then out of nowhere a fin shows up above the water. I froze, I knew what it was, a shark. I started to drive but the shark started to follow me.
I looked back and it was beside me, Next thing I know the shark jumps at me and I felt pain worse than having you cut yourself to the bone with a knife. I looked to the side and saw my left arm nowhere to be found, The shark tore it off.
An hour and fifteen minutes later I made it to safe and dry land I walked for what seemed an hour when i saw the town limits sign of winter haven had tons of people I felt a little scared and sad so I started asking for help. I felt like barfing then everything went dark.
I woke up in the hospital, they had given me food and water I scarfed it down. I asked if i can go home to colorado to be safe.
Yes, they said with relief that i woke up you may go home, one of our pilots will help you.
I can't believe i was going home to Colorado, I am finally safe.
