This year, I decided to take a history course over the summer. Our day normally ends at 3:15 PM, and I am back home at 5:00 PM. Yesterday, just before school ended, administration came over the PA system, and called a shelter in place for ten minutes because of the heavy rain and lightning. This means that no one is allowed to leave the building. At 3:20, they came back on the PA and asked teachers to dismiss at once. I made it outside just as the rain was starting to pick up. Since I had an umbrella, I ferried other students on my bus to the bus. Finally, we were all on the bus, and it was raining harder than ever. Being the first bus in the line, we initiated roll out and as we got to the entrance/exit of the school, we realized that there was a car accident blocking the entrance. So we circled the school, and left using the alternate entrance. However we were unable to join the normal route because the police had blocked the road to clear a felled tree. We drove for what seemed to be about twenty minutes, making many turns to avoid flooded and/or blocked roads. Soon, we realized we were turning back into the school. Our wonderful driver told us that she came back so that she could talk to administration about the route back home, and in the mean time, we could use the restroom and get water. Within five minutes, we were back on the road. We made it home about an hour after I usually do, mostly because of all of the blocked roads. It was one of the craziest rides home that Ive' had so far. Comment some of your scary drives/rides. Stay tuned for more! Till next time!
