The flood
On Friday I was at home with my family. It was a stormy day. The rain was pouring down. It rained so hard that the paddocks started to fill up with water. There was water everywhere. In the afternoon me and my dad and my brothers were in the shed cutting wood and suddenly water came rushing into the shed. The water made big puddles in the shed. I was using a rope to swing and then I jumped into the puddles. We were all amazed at how fast the paddocks were getting full of water. It was scary!First we picked up some stuff to try and block the water. But that didn’t work. My dad was worried that the flood had come into all the sheds. Me and my brothers were getting excited because it was like having a river right by our house.We asked dad if we could have a swim. He said yes. So we played tag by splashing each other with water. Then we played rugby. We were running and sliding in the water. Next we did some manus in the gushing, crashing rain. The water splashed up into our mouths and it tasted like dirt. There were tuna guts floating in the water; it really smelt like rotten fish. I was disgusted because the tuna guts were yuck as.After that we went inside.I felt scared because there was ice coming from the sky.Finally I was staring out the window with my brothers looking at the gushing, rushing rain. We were amazed because the rain was so fast and powerful.
