The flood tragedy 2017
On Wednesday the 8th of March 2017 there was a flood tragedy In Kawakawa, Huna, Clevedon, Maraetai, Coromandel and Thames.
It started to rain at night on Tuesday. I woke in the morning and there was water water water everywhere.There was water on our deck under the portico, Mum got an email from the school saying that it was closed. Then we got up and got dressed. We figured that we had lost a sleeper from our path. We went down to the workshop and there was water puddles in the workshop we got the brooms and swept it out the door. Next we went to the neighbours and they had a waterfall of disgusting muddy, brown water falling into their creek.
Then my Ma and Da came over on their tractor. We got dressed in our wet weather and got on the tractor. Mum, Lizzie and Mack on the crate on the back and my Ma,Dad and I were on seats. We drove up and looked at the Massive a slips. Then we drove up to the flood.
Then my dad got an alert from the boat club that boats had let go of the poles. Luckley our boat hadn't let go, so we moved her to pine harbour when my dad got back we had dinner with ma and Da.
The big day was over and everyone was safe. Nature can destroy land a lot!
It was a very eventful day Calla! Very well written. Hopefully we don't have much of the same this weekend!
