Rieleigh: "Me and my brother saw sheet lightning and this fork lightning."
Yasin: "It was cool from the flash."
Samuel: "When I first saw the storm there was just a big flash of white and then my sister went "WOAH" and then we went to the front door and watched some more."
Kobe: "Me and Cameron were saying 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and sometimes it struck on 1!"

We did come writing about the storm. We had a choice for writing. The choices were to either write a fiction or non fiction story about the storm. Here is one

my story is fiction.

One day on Tuesday 4 of september 2012 there was a  HUGE  Thunder and Lightning storm in the hole of New Zealand it was so rough it killed one hundred people.There was banging and thrashing then one moment later a lightning bolt hit my sister who was 6 months old so when i sore it happened i rushed out side to help her and give her cpr but before i gave her cpr i ran in side to tell my mum what happened.How did i know she was out side well i didn't know the only reason i knew she was out side was because she was screaming her head of in the end she survived
