It was a bright sunny day in May 2015. Me and, mostly, my whole friend group were all playing together at recess on the swings going up-and-down and up-and-down laughing and yelling funny phrases at each other as we will pass each other in the middle of our swings paths. We were all there except…

When we pulled up, the damage was not nearly as bad as we had heard it was. This was, until we started walking further down the street. The whole place was left in ruins. Whole roofs blown off of new, strong houses. Trees splitting huge houses in half. The damage was indescribable. I had never…
