I felt 136 after hearing the news and then rushed back home. 137 ,  neither of my parents got hurt. But Mum couldn’t stop crying since we had 138 left. Seeing the tears on her face, I walked up and tried to 139 her. After a short of fear, we calmed down and started to think about what could be done next.
Some 140 from the local government came to help in time. They offered us some food and money which we needed most. We 141 the following few days in a community centre but still didn’t know what was waiting for us.
One of my best friends, Elsa, hurried there with a large sized 142 in her hand. In it, there was some fruit, biscuits, two coats and so on. I found neither of the coats was 143 for me. But I really didn’t mind because her care was far more than that. It was more touching that I 144 got some books to read from her bag.
As days went by, we 145 to my uncle’s old flat which stayed empty for a couple of years. It was much 146 , but after all it was a place called home. 147 we moved in, life was better. However, our relatives, friends and some strangers continued to help us.

Looking back now, the 150 time turns out to be an unforgettable experience. No one can tell when the disaster will come and what it may cause, but if we have some space for others in our heart and are ready to help, we can get over any “tornado” in our life.
