Texts for reading
A "I will never forget what happened on August 24th. It was a dreadful day for everyone in Dade County. The wind was howling and the sky was black. Objects were flying all around me as I was trying to find a safe place. As I was running towards an underground, shelter, a tree flew right past me. Inside, some people were hugging each other while others were crying and shaking. It was unbelievable!"
John Lewis (45), Miami, Florida
B "It was about 11:30 am and I was shopping with my friend. Suddenly, there was a deep rumbling noise and then I felt that the ground was shaking so I grabbed my friend's hand. She was trembling. I told her to run. As we were running the tremor was getting worse. The buildings were rocking from side to side and the roads were cracking. I was so scared I thought we weren't going to survive! Everybody was screaming and crying. It was terrible!"
Vera Johnson (38), Paso Robles, California
