    There was a great flood a few years ago. There was hay and oats swept away on a lot of people. Plenty of people said that it was a cloud that burst. There was a hen swept away on my uncle when he was lying on her nest. My aunt was down visiting in our house that day and she could not get home with the floods that were on the road she had to stay in our house that night. Some houses were flooded too with how the water was flowing in.
