Stormy Motels By: Evan Anderson (Ray-Ray)

On the day we had to take ferries back to the mainland, the staff said that we were getting tornado warnings and lightning storms that were apparently heading our way. After we got off our second ferry ride, we were told that there were some worried parents that would feel better about us staying low for the night and stay out of the coming storm’s furious, unrelenting wrath! Luckily there was a motel next to the ferry dock we got off at.
We began getting out our necessities for the night, which really wasn’t that much since we were at a motel. Then black clouds were spotted off a little ways from where we were, foreshadowing the coming events, giving the gloomy but aweing sight that you couldn’t turn away from. Soon after the lightning was visible, very visible. Lightning lit up skies giving the feeling that Vegas was on the other side of the hill, fortunately, no lightning struck the ground that we could see, but it did take out our power a bunch of times.
Worried staff told us to stay indoors and find something to do to occupy our time. So that’s when we got the idea…. We found as much thing as we could that would flash fast and light up our room like strobe lights. Once that was achieved we took an I-pod that had good techno and dance music and attached it to some speakers and had an all-out rave party! It was awesome!!! Some tips! If you use a bed to help with dancing, don’t go back to jumping on hard floor, you end up feeling pitifully weak because you don’t have the extra bounce. Eventually it was ended by the staff because they got angry that the sheets were on the floor and because of the ruckus, plus it was time for nightly meetings.
You can have fun at any time, if you have the mind for it!
