Here in central Indiana, we encountered many casualties. I suffered, too. In the past few days, several thunderstorms and strong winds hit us. Eventually they formed several tornados in the area. It destroyed many towns and homes, Monroe is an example of the towns. Days before we got several flood and tornado warnings... The place flooded for days, Tornados constantly appearing and finally, today is the day it all ends. Just 2 days ago, ny dad was sent to the hospital for several sicknesses and problems. The next day, my grandparents left me at my house with my older sister to protect me in the meantime since they don't think I should be at that hospital. My sister and I were about to go to our rooms and do things...
Suddenly, my grandparents came in and told us a tornado was forming in the county park. I thought to myself, "Nah. Not gonna happen-" BOOM! Thunder, sirens, wind and the tornado started in the area. I said, "Dang it!" And we headed to our strongest supporting room (The washroom, made of pure concrete walls and cieling). We waited and the sirens stopped... It was just the beginning of the first one. We waited in the living room and the TV said to run to shelter. We remembered that the only warning we got was the sirens. Is it truely a "Flash Tornado?" Flash floods I understand since we got the warning. My grandfather looked out the window and then said, "Quick! Run into the room!"
My grandmother said, "It's just rain." And he said, "Do as I say!" I interrupted, "Just go!" We ran into the washrooms and more sirens started. We saw the tornado right above us but didn't touch down (Phew.) And it headed somewhere else unknown. It was the end of the Owen Country "trilogy" of storms like this... For now.
My grandparents left and the thunder was calming down. They were afraid of anything else happening so they came back for me. I left my sister that day. We hugged goodbye and I went to the hospital to see my dad.
If you were wondering why I stay with my grandparents, it's because I'm not allowed to be alone (Meh.) And then I am forced to stay with my grandparents. My dad goes to the clinic every 2 days or so because of his Kidney Dialisys and my sister has a job and even goes to church twice a week so I have to stay with my grandparents.
NOTE: The Owen Country Tornado is not on the news anywhere, just places around us. Do the people even recognize it's not their imagination? It's not an airstrike even though they use the same sirens. It was clearly a tornado! If you find a link to it, please let me know.
