April 29th 2009 I was at school sitting in my science class looking out the window with my gurrliees. The air was soooo effin muggy and sticky. It was cloudy and gray with a tint of green in the air. It looked like some of the clouds were spinning but we didnt think much of it. My teacher was rambling on about something “scientific” but luckily we had the sound of birds chirping to drown out his boring words. Then all of a sudden,it got really quiet and still, like somebody hit a giant pause button that paused the whole world. Then we saw it…a darkish grayish rotating cloud suddenly shot down to the ground,spinning. I knew what it was. I had been studying tornadoes my WHOLE life. (Im 12 btw) I was so astonished I couldnt move, talk, or even breath for that matter. Paralyzed, my head filled with millions of thoughts. Obviously my friends were the same way because no sounds or movements came from them either. I finally regained myself about to yell “TWISTER!!!” but as fast as it touched down it sucked right back up into the sky. I turned to my friends who were still staring at the sky. For moments we continued staring at the sky, jaws dropped to feet. The teacher finally asked us what was wrong with us and we told him we had just wittnessed a tornado. He didnt believe us. No one believed us. No one else saw it because it only touched down for like, 3 seconds. It was my first actual encounter with a tornado and I will never forget it. Neither will my friends.
