Evacuation(a hurricane katrina story)
by jackalmeida on Comments
Well by now everyone should know about hurricane katrina and the destruction and death it caused, so I've decided to tell my story about my encounter with the fierce hurricane. It all started when my mom and dad told me and my siblings to get in the van. I knew why, but I asked anyway. She said, " everyone in rankin county, mississippi who live in mobile homes should evacuate, and were going to Lousivile, Mississippi to your grandmas house." The drive was only two hours long, but it seemed like two days. When we got there it was 2:00 in the morning. Everyone was tired, so we went right to bed. The next morning I woke up to find that the power was out. We were in the hurricane, now a catagory one. The winds were fierce and knocked over my grandpa's 16 foot flagpole. By 7:00 PM it was getting dark, so we had to start lighting the candles. It got so hot my mom started to cry. About this time I decided to call my friend David, masterchiefdude, on my cellphone. He said that a tree was knocked over and fell through his roof, and that if it had fallen any further it could have killed him. I was happy it hadn't, and was very thankful. By 8:00 PM it was so dark I couldn't stand it. You see not many people know this, but when I was young I had watched some kind of t.v. show about snakes. That night I thought I saw a giant snake in my bed, so I screamed as loud as I could. My dad ran in, but I was petrified. I've been deathly afraid of snakes and the dark since. We decided to go to bed at 9:00 PM. When I woke up it was hotter than before, and the power was still out. My dad said we were about to go, and We left at 11:00 AM. We got home at 1:00 PM, and would you believe it, we had power. The only thing we didn't have was internet, but that's nothing comepared to all those other peoples whos lives have been shattered. Me and my family have been blessed, and I'm very thankfull indeed.

Stranded In The Resevoir

I got to go jet skiing the other day! I was having a great time, then it happened. We had an inner tube tied to the back with a rope, and the rope got sucked up in the motor. After 40 minuets out in open water we decided to swim back to shore. I had to swim 2 freakin miles towing an inner tube, talk about exausting.:o Right in the middle of my little swim it started to rain. I was freezing, but shore was in site. It tok a while, but I made it. I'm just luckey I didn't have to tow the jet ski.:lol: As we left my dad had one thing to say "this wouldn't of happened if you hadn't brought the waltons along." That's so true. I'm sorry to say this, but stuff like this happens often to me, and I will try to record evry event like this in the Journal of A Mad Gamer.
With all due respect,
Ian Walton
