Recount Writing-The Flood

WALT to make our writing more interesting for our readers. 

The Flood
On Friday morning I woke up and I heard a big magnificent storm. First, I got dressed and I went into the dining room. I looked through the window and the rain was really heavy. My backyard was flooded. My ponds were flooded.  Our paddocks were flooded.  I saw the rushing gushing water flowing through the deck. I was feeling quite scared.  My mouth opened wide and I called out to my brothers and sister, “Come and see the flood!!!” 
Then I went into the lounge and there was water dripping from the ceiling.  So I ran to get a towel to mop up the mess.  My papa came home, and he said, “All of Kaikohe was flooded.”  He also said that some water was even in the shops.  After that I went into my room and I saw water dripping from the top of the roof crashing as it was going down to the deck. I felt alright because we were so lucky that it didn't come into our house.
