I ran downstairs to go outside to get better view of my house and to see what had happened, when I stepped outside
there was an ambulance, a few cop cars, and a fire truck shining a light on my house. I walked down the driveway and looked up to see a two and a half feet in diameter branch laid diagonally across the roof of my house. As I stared at it I was feeling a ton of emotion such as confusion, anger,sadness, and all I wanted to do was cry but I couldn’t I had a rush of adrenalin and I couldn’t react to any of my emotions I was feeling. After I had comprehend what just happened, people were coming to me asking if I was okay, I responded with a polite yes, and some of these people I had never met before.
A few days later the tree was taken out of our house and we immediately started to pack everything. We had been living in this house for about 12 years and we had a lot of stuff and only 4 days to pack everything. We eventually packed it all with some help from my cousins. Since our house was uninhabitable we had the privilege of living in the Best Western hotel for a month, every night we would go out to dinner or we would be invited to a friends house to eat. After eating out every night I really craved a nice home cooked meal. One night we went to my Nana and Papa’s house for dinner and she made chicken and dumplings, it was the best thing I’ve ever tasted.
