I wrote this story sometime around 1997. It needs a lot of work but it's been a stressful day so in order to keep my challenge going, I'm using this one tonight. I just can't think of anything new right now.
Tommy the Tornado comes down from the sky from a big cloud.
With his strong, circling winds, he picks up houses, trees, and cars and twirls them around.
Severe weather sirens warn people that Tommy the Tornado is nearby and they should find shelter quickly.
To escape the danger that Tommy the Tornado brings, people build houses under the ground called storm cellars.
For people who don't have storm cellars, a bathroom or room in the center of the house, is the safest place to be, with lots of blankets and bottles of water available.
After Tommy the Tornado is finished playing his dangerous game, everyone must clean up the damage he left behind.
Groups like the American Red Cross, Army National Guard, and churches help the victims who lost their homes, cars, clothing, and food.
After all the clean up is done, everyone can relax a little until Tommy the tornado returns.
