The tsunami
Last term for writing, I wrote a story off pobble 365. First I had to find an image that I could write about them I came up with some ideas and put it into a story. This story is about a girl and her family who were in a tsunami. Next time I would like to try and write a story with more detail, and I found putting all my ideas into a story challenging.
We rushed to the car and drove as fast as we could, mum turned on the radio so we could hear the news. “All people evacuate their homes now a tsunami is approaching,” the reporter said. As we entered the city there was traffic everywhere, horns were going off, people were running around, there were even people driving on the footpath.
It had been an hour of ongoing traffic. Mum turned on the radio we were told the tsunami was arriving real soon. So we all started freaking out. We had just got onto the bridge, “oh no,” said Dad, “what's wrong,” I asked, “we are too late it is here”. The giant wave was forming, “I love you”, were the last words I said. I can only remember seeing my parents drift away unconscious.
And that was my experience with a tsunami. My pets and I were the only ones who survived, but those memories will always be in my mind. I laid down on the couch with my dog next to me and my cat lying in front of the fire. I switched on the TV and put on the news, all I heard was, “everyone leave now - a tsunami is coming!”

The tsunami
It was 7:00 o’clock in the morning, I woke up to a loud siren. I had heard that siren before it was a tsunami warning. I woke my family up, and we went to grab the pets and packed as much as we could. We quickly rang some family and friends as we hopped in the car to make sure they knew there was a tsunami warning going off and for them to leave as soon as possible.We rushed to the car and drove as fast as we could, mum turned on the radio so we could hear the news. “All people evacuate their homes now a tsunami is approaching,” the reporter said.
