①It was fine.My friend and I were taking a long walk along the beach.
   ②Half an hour later，we noticed some black clouds and soon it was cloudy.Just as we decided to go back home，it became windy.The wind became stronger and stronger so that we could hardly stand against it.We ran towards a house beside us.
   ③Then it started to rain heavily，with the scary thunder and lightning.We were frightened，but we had no choice but to wait in the house.
   ④The storm lasted for over an hour and during that time，huge waves rolled（翻滾）on the sea and the unlucky fishermen who went out to sea to cat nets（出海撒網(wǎng)）were caught in the storm.We watched the poor men try their best to hold their boats in the sea.How brave they were！
   ⑤When the storm stopped，we could see the damage it had caused.Trees were blown down，roofs were blown off，and there were deep holes in the walls.
   ⑥This was the most terrible scene in my memory.Luckily，we were safe and hoped that another terrible experience like this would not come again.
