I had noticed the clouds growing darker and the ones to the east were turning green.At first I thought nothing of it，but then on the TV，the weather reporter was announcing a big thunderstorm warning，one that usually brings hail and heavy rain.

　　After seeing that，I called my mother and told her about it.She told me I should not be worried because it was just a thunderstorm so we hung up.Then I looked outside and noticed it was almost pitch black at 4：30 pm.I took a flashlight because I was sure the power was going to go out any second.Then no sooner had I got back from getting the flashlight than the weather reporter announced a Tornado Warning！I had never been in an actual tornado before，but I had seen some funnel clouds before in Montana.

　　Suddenly I realized I had no time to lose and I had to try to get my sister down the stairs to the basement in a matter of minutes.I surprisingly got her down there with no trouble at all and I raced back up the stairs to get the cordless phone.When I got back downstairs my dad called and told me to get downstairs immediately.I told him I was already down there！He said OK and we talked for a few seconds and then we hung up.Then through the basement windows，the only thing I could see was when lightning struck.

　　I do not recall hearing of any deaths，or too many injuries so I guess everyone got a good head start to run to their basements.Either they or we are all lucky.
