The universal flood
It was one weekend during the autumn of 2000. I had gone with my family to the village of my great-grandmother, where I usually spend my hollydays. We went to loock for mushrooms, but we were not able to go out of the village. If I were know that the disaster was coming, I'd never go to the village.
The weather forecast was clouds giving way to some sun. But on Saturday, when I got up, It was raining slowly, and then, after the breakfast, an enormous shower with incredible thunders lead to a frightening darkness instead the blue sky. I think that the temperature went ten degrees down in a couple of hours, that's not what you'd spect about a weekend!
It was a flood, every street was a river, there were sheeps swiming arround the High Square and the rivers overflowed their edges. But this's not all! The authentic disaster was going to happen during the lunch time. At the top of the walley there's a big dam, and the village is only 9 kilometres going down the river. This dam was full of water that autumn and for preasure reasons, and the strong storm, the government and the council decided to open the foodgates, adding more and more water to the river.
The next day the village appeared in every TV-chanel, the river had destroied the forest, two bridges, the road, and a lot of market gardens, farms and countries. It had rain 520 litres in only 9 hours. Could be that you think that it's not true, but I remember that there was a Renault Clio in the highest broanch of an enormous poplar near of the river.

Hi Plinio!
Answering to your comment on my blog, I don't know what the Catholics think about the natural disasters' origin. I just wanted to give different options in the story.
What I really think is that some people (usually, religious people) find an explanation for all, or almost all, in God. That's not truth for me, but I can't say that they're wrong.
I'm sure you become much more sensitive after living an experience like this. I remember the flood! It was incredible!
Hi everybody! С новым годом и Рождеством!
That means Happy New Year and Happy Christmas, yes, Christmas after New Year. In Russia, because of orthodox religion, Christmas day is on January 6th. Hey, that's another clue about my identity!!!. Il Kommentatore knows something about Russian (or knows someone who knows something about Russian).
I’ve been really busy during these last days and I've been disconnected from the blog activity so I haven't had the opportunity to wish you the best for the New Year. That's all by now.
Желаю вам счастья (I wish you happiness).
Hey you! What’s happening with the blogs? I though this experience was about writing, because we need to improve our writing style, because we will have to demonstrate our writing level at the 5th level final exam. What do I have to do to encourage you??? Il-Kommentatore need posts to make comments. What are you waiting for? C’Mon.
Happy New Year! I came by to see if you had written anything new. I like to read you.
