Trang 3Reading 4 (challenging): The Storm Is Coming
Haley was so sad She just couldn’t believe it! She was supposed to have her birthday party tomorrow at Super Kool Skateboard Park, but now there was a chance that the city was going to get hit by a hurricane The party was canceled and would have to be rescheduled
At least Haley’s mom had already picked up her birthday cake, so now she could have two cakes
The meteorologist at the weather center had been keeping a very close eye on Hurricane Dora This fierce storm originated way out in the Atlantic Ocean near Africa It was now quickly heading towards the southern part of the United States—somewhere near Miami, which is where Haley lived The storm had winds of up to 120 miles per hour This made it
a category three hurricanes, and Haley knew it could be very damaging Her city had experienced a number of hurricanes
So instead of running around with her mom doing last-minute things for her party, Haley was busy helping her mom update their hurricane safety kit They needed new batteries for the flashlights and radios, fresh water, some canned goods, a new can opener, bread, peanut butter, and any other non-perishable food and drink items Haley could talk her mom into buying Their kit still had plenty of bandages, blankets, and diapers and baby food for her baby brother Haley’s mom asked Haley to also remind her to get some cash while she was at the store
While Haley and her mom were busy at the store, Haley’s dad was busy at the dock
securing their boat When he finished, he was going to return to the house and cover their windows with plywood that he had already cut for just this kind of emergency
When all of the preparations are done, Haley’s parents will gather their files of important papers, some cherished family photos, and a few clothes for everyone They will pack everything in their van Since Haley’s grandparents live in Atlanta, Haley and her family will evacuate Miami and go stay with them for a few days Hopefully, they will all be able
to return soon After all, sometimes winds cause hurricanes to change direction, and they miss their intended target completely Haley hopes this will happen, but she is also excited that she will get to visit her grandparents
