My mom would always grab me a pasty from the autrain gas station and cook them over the fire also. While we sit around the fire eating out snacks, I look out across lake superior. It was like a professional photo with moving trees and shimmering water. The shining sun glistening off the top of the water dancing like fire. Looking across to the island with the many trees scattered across the land like stubble on an old man's beard. This was the sight people dream to have. After some time, I look to the left and notice something very strange happening on the water. It looked as if there was a wall or cloud moving very quickly over the top of the water. I hear the sound almost like animal howling right in front of me. This loud high pitch whine that sends chills down even the devil's spine. I look to my mom with a very confused look and look back out towards the water and realize that mysterious wall of water was getting closer and closer now. The sound getting louder every second. It hit us like a train. It was almost as if the entire sky opened up and was showering us in a hellfire of heavy raindrops. The rain was hitting me from every angle. Out of everything, my mind focused on what was in the tent. I got up and sprinted to our tent and jumped in to avoid the wind and rain. The walls of the tent were caving in, bending and folding inward on top of me and I debated if I was safer inside or outside. My sister, stepbrother, and stepsister came running in also. My mom and Dave ran to shut their windows on their cars and were going to make it back to us but before we knew it, our tent caved in on one side and we knew we couldn't stay there. I grabbed my ipod and grabbed whatever electronics I could and jumped out the tent and ran to my moms car. I threw everything inside and was going to make my way back for another run but when I turned around to make my way back to the tent, I see Dave's blue sleeping mat flying thru the air with John close behind it. I chuckled at how funny this all was. One second everyone was fine and happy the next it's like we're inside a hurricane. The thing that happened next will be cemented in my mind for as long as I live. I turned back towards our tent for a split second and it was like everything around me froze. No raindrops fell for what seemed like minutes. I stood there just watching this huge red mass crawling its way across the
