   Some people said that a storm was coming, but Billy didn’t believe it. The blue sky was perfect, so he decided to go to the beach with some of his friends because it was a sunny Sunday afternoon. Tommy and Jessica brought some snacks and they took Billy’s car. There was a traffic jam on the highway because of a car crash, and they had to wait for about an hour. By the time they could move on, it was drizzling and the sun had been covered by some black clouds, so they thought it was better to go back home. Later, Billy realized that they had made the right decision. That evening, the storm caused so much damage that it was considered one of the worst storms of the decade.
