The Flood

I remember playing video games in my basement

When I hear it raining

Few hours go by.

Still raining 

I Stroll upstairs to see what's going on


I see the streets flooded outside,

My dad barked, “Look at the news.”

On the news I see people kayaking down streets in the water


The news report mentions a flood I-75,

As we run outside, 

I can hear water rush like a waterfall,.


Water is building up on the highway

The cars that were on the highway are halted by the water 

Some turning around, to avoid being engulfed by water

People trapped in their cars since of the water

We see a rescue team trying to save the people in the cars


                                     My dad and I head back home

I beg if I can walk around outside 

They say I can


I Explore outside with all the water


When I get home

I hear my dad yelling for me

I walk to where he’s yelling for me, not knowing what’s going on

When I get there, I see him moving a bunch of stuff from downstairs 

Our basement was flooding

We scrambling to transport everything upstairs.
