No.11

(photo by: auniakahn)

i was in a parking lot with two other people
it started raining a little and then the wind picked up

i looked up to the sky and saw clouds swirling around

suddenly a funnel cloud formed right in front of me

i saw it touch down

there was a flash of bright light

and we needed to get inside

we ran into a building
i looked out the front glass doors to see something white fly by

i knew the tornado was coming at us

we tried to run for cover

there was no basement... only a small bathroom

we ran to an open bathtub and got in

we felt the wind shaking the building but nothing crashed down

i looked again out a small side window

then realized it was us that was spinning

the building i was in was flying through the tornado

like that old house in the wizard of oz

we were going to crash down and braced for it

i was holding onto a small child

but instead of a crash we just slid into place in the middle of nowhere

i remember the feeling of relief

as i woke up..
