Tornado Drill (By: Corbin)

On the week of the Tornado Awareness Month, we had a tornado drill. On that day, Mr. Hill spoke through his microphone: (beep, beep, beep, beep)"We are in a TORNADO WATCH, be safe. "(click). He said that to prepare us. Then seconds later, (beep, beep, beep, beep)"We are in a TORNADO WARNING!" Then the alarm sounded (weeeeeeeerrrrrrr!). Then I get all scared that a twister is going to rip through our school. That's when we went to the school basement. After a few weeerrrs, it went (click). When we were heading down, I didn't know it was an actual warning or just a drill. When we got down, the emergency lights were on, and the main lights were off, making the basement dim. When I was scared,Dena made sure I was okay. All of the classmates stood in the basement for about 5 minutes. Then the drill was over. When we got to the classroom,we continued what we were doing,and I was relieved.
