Hi, Kate!

1 I hope you are all OK after last night’s tornado.

I’m just writing to let you know that we’re all fine, thankfully!

2 Luckily, we were all at home when we heard the warning on TV.

Mum was just about to serve dinner, so she put everything in our
packed lunchboxes ready to take to the basement. We switched the
electricity off, made sure the doors and windows were shut and then
went down to the basement with our torches.

3 We started eating our dinner. Dad turned on the radio and we listened to
what was going on. We could hear lots of things blowing around outside,
and the house shook a bit. It was quite scary! Things finally calmed down,
but we waited for a while until we were sure it was safe to go upstairs.
I don’t like tornadoes at all!
