Tornado

Even though I thought it was the end too. Right then though, we heard a loud noise that sounded like a tornado. It was the wind from a helicopter! We all raced out of the trailer and jumped up and down screaming to try to get the helicopter to notice us. Sure enough, the helicopter landed right in front of us. We were all so ecstatic words couldn’t even explain…
