    This year on the thirty first of August there was a terrible storm. It started on a Sunday night but it was not bad until Monday night. Then it began and there was thunder and lightening wind and rain. All that night and the next day it continued raining.
    The Tuesday before there was strange signs on the sky and it is said that eleven years that night the same signs were on the sky.
    Eleven years that day there was a terrible storm also.
