4) Excerpt from Mother Nature's Fury
Tracy Wilson
1 Looking back, I was sure that I was going to die that November afternoon. Tomado watches in Alabama are as common as
eggs are for breakfast. So much so, that I had begun to ignore them altogether. This disregard for Mother Nature's power
nearly proved fatal for me and my sister. As we approached a fresh red light on a main thoroughfare through Huntsville,
glanced at the sudden peculiar coloring of the sky. The unusual hue and the stillness of the air gave me a sudden sense of
uneasiness. The light changed and we made the left turn that would lead us home. It was after the turn that everything
around me seemed to be occurring in slow motion. I heard it before I saw anything.
