As we were driving away from our neighborhood we were finding some place to meet up and eat
food. We met up at McDonalds which wasn’t open and decided to look for food. No places had power
and we were running out of gas. We found a gas station and also came upon a Stop & Shop. We bought
food and hung out tailgating in the parking lot. We were allowed to go back to our house but with no cars.
So we walked down and grabbed what we needed. After going back to our house we prepared for the
night, we bought many light sources to light up our house. We needed something to do to buy time so we
went to the movie theater and in the parking lot hundreds of power trucks were waiting to be called out
and restore power. We entered the cinemas and watched the new Lion King movie. We were returning
from the movies and as we approached our neighborhood we saw nothing lit, it was like being blind in a
dark room it felt so dark. As we entered our house we put lights on and lit glowsticks. Some of us were
gathered in our living room and were chatting about random things. I sat own next to my mom and started
crying because I was so scared. Around 10:30 I went to bed, scared. We woke up the next morning and
continued what we would be doing that day which is going to Provincetown. Then we packed our bags
and left the next morning.
To this day whenever there is a storm, or worse, a thunderstorm I immediately get scared. Before
this Tornado I would be ok with these storms, but now I hate them. This is my memoir on the storm that
changed my life.
