Cyclone Gabriel

Paragraph 1

On 12 February there was so much rain all over New Zealand. It looked like it was going to be a big storm. I was quite scared that there was going to be a storm. But in a few hours we heard an emergency alert about a flood on my mum’s phone. I turned on the tv and went to the news and I saw so many people speaking about the storm that is going to hit New Zealand. I got so scared after hearing the news. So after the emergency alert lots of people got frightened. So in a few hours I saw the news again and I saw so many people going to the shops to get their groceries and important things like a torch.

Paragraph 2

So I asked my mum if we could go and get our food and groceries from the shops and my mum said” to me that is not yet because there is heavy rain. So then she told me that we will get our groceries tomorrow morning.  A Few hours later the rain stopped ! I was so glad that the rain had stopped. So I went outside and saw a really big and beautiful rainbow. It was so pretty that I took a photo of it and sent it to my friends. After all that stuff it was night and dinner time. After I ate my dinner I did some of my homework and after my homework we had family time. So when we were having family time the rain started so heavily and didn’t stop. All night it was raining so hard that I couldn’t sleep.

Paragraph 3

The next day it was Saturday and when I woke up it was still raining! I was so sick of the rain already. I just wanted to have a relaxing sunny day but I could not. After I ate my breakfast, me and my little sister played inside. I was quite bored that I had nothing to do. So I went on my IPad and went to google classroom and saw what I had to do and when I saw on google classroom I had already finished my homework. I was so frustrated that I just read a book and after reading the book I felt like sleeping. So I went to sleep for 30 minutes and woke up again. I one’d the TV and saw the news. The storm was getting worse and some water got into people’s houses which was so sad. I asked my mum when the storm was going to finish?But my mum did not answer me.

Paragraph 4

After 3 days the weather was getting quite better than the first day when the storm came. But still people are telling us that you should get candles, torch because the light can go at our home. I told my mum that and then we went to the two dollar shop which was close to our house. When we went to the two dollar shop I could not find a torch. I asked a lady where the torch was. But the lady talked so quietly that I could not even hear her.
