Safe at Home

It's me and my family watching tv when there is a news report of a tornado warning whamp whamp whamp so my dad looks outside and finds the tornado going through our farm MOOOOOOOOOOOOO! He hears a cow. My dad screams “get in the basement quick before it hits us.” So we quickly went into the basement. I just hope we survive. An hour later the tornado passes by. My dad’ goes to check on the animals while my mom checks if we’re ok as we heard the front door slam shut when my dad ran out the door as I hear my younger brother crying running to my mom will dad come back he says ya he will be back any moment a few minutes later they all hear a scream the family panics is that dad screaming the kids ask mom yah they all sprint out the door dad where are you they scream i'm over hear dad are ok what happened I Was just checking on the animals like I said I would then when I was starting to come in I noticed the tornado coming back and I started running but the tornado was to fast and it got me can you get me out of this quick i'm getting very dizzy they start tugging and tugging so hard they pull him out dad stands up and hugs them . Dad says quick now get inside the tornado still hear but it should go away in a hour or two what I was wrong its gone look the sun is coming out says mom i'm just glad we have a home to spend time with each other and that we're safe through that tornado yah they all say.
