Experiencing the Annual ‘Monster’ of the Caribbean

The last thing I heard was a deafening “Boom!”
When I woke up, I looked outside. Trees were

uprooted and debris was everywhere. Many roads

had been temporarily transformed into rivers.

The roof of our house was on the road! I heard

something crumbling and my instincts kicked in.

I was just in time to dodge a falling piece of debris.

Not too far from our house on the opposite side
was a mangled gas station. The thick steel pillars

were twisted like metal rods. Many of our

neighbours’ roofs were torn off too. A large

forty-foot container was overturned like a bucket.

Dead animals were everywhere on the road.
