I’m in Hail....

Repost: Mar 15, 2008

 


Last night I was sitting here in front of my CPU...Instant messaging my mommy and my middle sister...
Right when the hail storm hits my house...it was scary, yo...
I thought to myself..."these are brand new windows...my insurance has got to cover this.." Then as the storm grew I was just concerned about my safety so I scrambled around thinking to myself what is the proper tornado procedure, shit, I don’t know!
I ran downstairs and cowered in the hallway away from the windows....
It stopped.
The next morning it seemed as if it was going to be a lovely day...all week long I had been sick. Feverish sick and seriously on the brink of something wicked...
I was happy to get out with my family for a little shopping and my first meal since being ill...
My sister asks me to drive her car because she is new at driving and it is starting to rain....I run out to the car.
We are halfway to my house when golf balls made of ice starts pounding the car. The lyun cub in the back knows something is wrong and he is clawing his way out of his car seat...
I can’t see...for sure the glass is going to break. I stop in the middle of the street along with the rest of humanity...
We can’t stay here my sister screams...
I dont know what to do I yell back.
We start crying. The little lyun cub is in survival mode trying to claw out still.
I quickly turn left into an old abandoned restuarant. I run up on the sidwalk under the rooftop to at least get half the car under shelter.
I am crying harder. My phone rings...my mommy wants to know where we are. I see that she turned off at the store right next to me.
We are in hail.
slowly it stops....I am afraid to get out...slowly
slowly
slowly
Ok it’s safe. We race back to my house only to find it dark and barren without heat - without power.
We wait...the sun comes out. my sister is still scared
We were in hail.
