Practice Disaster

Disaster Strikes!Monday, September 11 Paul came out of the office carrying his umbrella with him when Joey joined him. They were walking and talking and all of the sudden they heard a whooshing sound. Then the brown water that had puddled up all over the field began to move. It began to run toward the portables in the back. Next came a crack-crack crackling sound. The boards began to come apart and the loose mud under the walkways began to slide toward the sinkhole. Teachers and kids came out of their portables trying to spot the cause of all the commotion. Suddenly, there was a larger sound. A louder whoosh turned every head and opened every eye in that rainy field. The walk ways started to heave up and down, making terrible splintering noises. Kids started running and screaming trying to get inside the building. Paul and Joey saw some people stuck in the portables and ran to go help them. Luckily no one died, but many were injured.
