The Mighty Tornado

In South Africa we are fortunate that we do not experience any natural disasters which makes our country all the more lovable. Korea is very low key when it comes to natural disasters as well; I know this because I did some research on the topic while preparing to move here. However, over the long weekend I was scooped off the ground by a mighty tornado. I had a first class ticket into a whirl wind of terror. My friends Brett and Megan were with me as the tornado swung us from one end to the next as it grew in momentum. It was the most frightening experience of my life. I could remember seeing my life flash in front of my eyes and then everything went black; that blackness was actually my sunglasses flying over my head and falling into a nearby bush. My lungs received a good work out as well as I screamed in terror...at one point though I realised that there was no point in screaming, this monster will eventually calm down and if we’re fortunate we will return to safety. About 10 minutes later the raging wind subsided and our feet touched the ground. My insides felt as though they were turned upside down, I could not stand straight for at least one hour and I felt like a zombie. My sweet friends comforted me and nursed me back to health; Megan went as far as feeding me Coke so that I would get some energy. We then promised ourselves that the Tornado is one ride we will never go on again at any amusement park.
