Cyclone in the ASB


A week from today, there was a cyclone in all of Spain. It affected especially the northern part of Spain. It caused many imperfections and it evn killed several people. For example, in Barcelona several children were killed on Saturday when they were practicing indoor baseball in a spotcenter. The roof collapsed on top of their head. Here in the Basque Country many trees fell down. Furthermore tiles were thrown down and lots of zones went out of light. An example of this last was Balmaseda.

At the ASB the consequences were also suffered. Eventhough, the EFL had class on Saturday the school in the end had to close. I arrived at school at nine, at the same time as the Las Arenas bus. Many of the students who had arrived in previous buses: Bilbao and Neguri, began telling the other ones that the school was going to close. However, the teachers were telling that w were going to have school.

At first, I could not see anything wrong. However, when I began walking down the hall rain began to fall on me so I looked up and saw that the roof of the hall had flown away. I continued walking to my homeroom the only thing I saw was that the floor was wet. I reached my homeroom and I saw that the fence had fallen down. After that we went to normal class and then at second hour when we were in class Mr. Jenkins came in and told us to call our parents to come and pick us up because the school was going to close for safety reasons. The school had no electricity and on Tuesday, they had to use a generator to produce electricity.

I conclusion the cyclone ended and now it is cold again but they do not expect another cyclone.
