Horrible Storms

(The picture above is from ABC News.)

There has been a lot of storms since last Sunday night, and these horrible storms have seriously hit Brisbane repeatedly. It's hard to imagine when the stoms have gone because the weather is always fine during the day, but stoms come in the evening with much lightning, noisy thunder as well as heavy rain and ferocious winds. I think that the storms here are similar to strongest typhoons in Taiwan, and they seem like that plenty of typhoons come every day even though cause too much disaster.

Now, I want to talk about my experience of the horrile storm on Wednesday night. I awakened before dawn when the furious storm hit my house strongly. I could hear windy downpours clearly; consequently, I felt too frightened to be asleep. I suddenly thought that my English teacher told me to be careful with the storm as a result of the dangerous situation that the roof would be blown way. For that reason, I waked up immediately to check all the windows as well as doors in the house. After I did all I would do, I came back to my room and tried to sleep once more. Nevertheless, the worst of all happened. It rained INSIDE. I couldn't believe what I saw was that the rain was leaking in large drops through the roof. I wanted to tell my landlord, but it was so late that I didn't know it was polite to wake him up. Therefore, I just found a rag to prevent the rain from falling to my bed, and I prayed that the storm would cease soon.

Despite of the fact that I couln't remember when I was asleep again, I was very pleased to see the sunshine when getting up. Thanks God to protect me from harm.
