First Rain

First Storm of 2007Suddenly, everyone heard the rushing sound of the raging wind. We all ran outside and saw a very small, black cloud. We thought that it was going to miss us, but to our surprise, the cloud expanded. Soon it became a HUGE orange wave! "A DUST STORM!" Ray shouted. annual sand day - school let out for the first rain!We all went rushing around, shutting windows and screaming our heads off. Soon I heard rain on the roof! I shouted Miss B., "it’s raining!" All of the kids raced outside to dance and scream in the rain. ~sara

    Actually, I thought the little dust grains hurt when they hit my legs and neck, especially the neck.
    Other than that, it was fun. It took about four dudes to tackle me.
    ha!
