But then a few hours later you could hear ice hitting the windows. And trees falling. It was loud..scary. And that's how it was. For 2 and a half days. Yay.
I kept texting my friends, checking to see if they were all right, and they did the same with me. But unfortunately not everyone was as safe as I was. Some had trees fall on their cars, houses, and even themselves. No one could drive on the roads, because if the ice didn't kill them...the trees would. It was scary to go outside...even for a minute.
Me and Jocelyn kept ourselves entertained. We played games and took pictures. We ended up not having school for the rest of the week. And before we knew it...Jocelyn had been with me for 7 days and 6 nights. It was great ^_^.
It was surreal when we finally got out of the house. Trees in the middle of the road, houses abolished. We found out people had been taking shelter at the high school, in the gym. Hotels were booked full of the locals. And everything outside just looked...dead. As if knowing what was happening outside wasn't bad enough...we had to see it.
It was a good experience. I think everyone learned something from it. Whether to appreciate what they have or just a brief removal from their superficial lives. I just...hope it never happens again.
