As I went to bed that night, I could hear it
1)
. I never expected that
it would turn into the worst flood ever.

and saw the 2)
which looked
almost black. It was still pouring down and the
3) were almost blowing the trees
over. Then I looked down and saw that the street
was a river of dirty water! I watched as it picked

new car 4) and bits of it were
floating away. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't
