A Stormy Night

     The following is Sam's account of our stormy night:

One night there was a huge storm. It involved a loud noise on the tin roof, a small landslide on the side of the house, and some working in the morning. That night was strange and scary. Lots of people were up for the most of it. Here is what happened.
       The most annoying part of the night was that the rain on the  tin roof sounded like you were in a movie theater with the volume all the way up, and glass was shattering constantly.  My friend Zane and I were asleep for most of it.  We were only awake for the loud part of it though.  From what I hear it went on for hours, and hours.  The front porch was wet all over, and it was covered all the way by tin too.
      Another strange thing that happened during the storm was that there was a small landslide right on the side of our house. All of the sudden we heard a thud.  I opened my eyes and I saw water seeping through the walls. The others went around the side of the house and they said, " Yep it's a landslide."  As it happened a thin tree trunk fence had fallen down with a lot of mud and hit the side of the house.
     The next week  involved cleaning the little bit of landslide up from the house. We also had to dig up mud from a drain.After that we cleaned up the utensils that we used. And then we took the mud in the wheelbarrow down to the road and dumped it out.
      All in all we were okay, but tired.And I still can't believe I slept through most of it!
