The wind was blowing fiercely, making br an eerie sound, then there was a clap br of thunder, as the rain came pouring br down. You could see the trees begin to br sway, as some twigs began to fall. Before br you knew what was happening, it affected br one and all. Water was slowly rising, br everywhere you could see. When I decided br to see how deep it was, it had reached up to br my knee. Gratefully, the power still remained br in tact, we weren't immersed in the dark. Not br far off in the distance, a dog began to bark. br By now, the wind subsided and the rain began br to stop. I took a survey all around, from the br bottom to the top. When I found it to be in order, br it's then I heaved a great big sigh.
