Lately, there are flood and tornados watches. Today, my mom sent me to the post office, it was trickling, and then, I saw lightning in the distance. I hurried to the door of the post office, and went in. When I came out, the lightning was 1 mile away. Oh yes, guess what, I GOT MY PIC. TAKEN BY A PROFESSIONAL  PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THE BELOIT NEWS!!!!!!!!!, Soppin' wet, I heard the mans radio say, Boy with Wagon. (I had a wagon) I turned and he had his camera pointed at me!! LOL!

  Any way, I was on the bridge, and A HUGE bolt of lightning Buzzed through the air, less than 50 FT away!!!!  An officer stopped, and then KERRRRRRBOOOOOOOOOOM a HUGE thunder came!!! I stopped, to frightened to move. the officer asked if I needed a ride. But, HOW am I gonna go in a squad car, WITH A HUGE wagon???? I said no. He said "sure?" sorta surprised like. I nodded, He said, okay, and shrugged and drove away. Then, A wall of rain came from behind, and I got soaked. it went in my mouth, and down my throat. I could hardly breath. Suddenly, I heard a shout. kate and rose were coming home from the store. I tried to run up the sidewalk through the water. I could not. the force of water and wind was too strong. I was in the midst of a GIGANTIC storm, and was as wet as a moth, coming out of a pond. A bolt of lightning hissed through the air and struck in the mid. of the road, 10 feet from us and 20 feet away from an oncoming car. We finaly made it home, sopping wet. WHEW! I was shivering from the wet and my fear. I was SURE we were not going to return home, as I heard the lightning hiss and saw the light, and felt the tremoundous heat. "We made it!" I said as we opened the door.

  Yeah, talk about scary storms!
