IS THERE REALLY SUCH A THING AS TOO MUCH RAIN?
(This current event is fiction, I made this up in order to complete this certain assignment)
August 3, 12:45pm

Rain pours down, and the citizens of Bogota, Colombia are asking, “ Is this rain ever going to end?” Roads are flooded and visibility outside is impossible. Houses are flooded and falling, and pieces of shingles and siding are coming down constantly.
What seemed like a good, sunny day on August 3rd deceived the citizens of Colombia from the forecasts predicted and the early, warm day. When the kids were out playing in the streets at lunch time and the parents were mowing their lawn is when the storm hit.
The first few drops of rain came down lightly, but in a few minutes it was so bad that nobody could see a foot in front of them.
After the rain finally stopped the Colombian citizens were in a state of shock. Their peaceful town was and still is a dump which needs fixing up fast.
Some kids play in the streets, having water fights, not realizing what had just happened. Some kids are in the hospital with their parents, knowing the tragedy and the horror that had just happened. Injuries from the rain, vary from minor cuts and bruises, to injuries that would damage their life forever.
Even though the outcome of the storm is horrible we, as Colombian citizens, will stand strong and repair all that we can.
