[Mr. Verrier]

I have never lived through a natural disaster. I think I would be very worried for my family if I did.

[Dylan]

no,i would think it would be scared, and i would be worried at the sametime if i had a natural disaster.

[Faith]

I have never been in a natural didsaster. But my grandparents have. I was very scared. So were my grandparents.

[Jane]

My son Taylor is attending the unversity of North Dakota in Grand Forks and he just informed that classes are cancelled for the next few days. Students are encouraged to go to neighboring towns to help with emergency relief.
I am very proud of taylor for helping out, but i am also very worried for him and for all the people out there experienceing this terrible flooding.

[Monika]

I have never went through a natural disaster before.Maybe a little earth quake that's all.

[Travis]

Man I cant believe this is happening I mean flooding in North Dakota thats really bad! I have never went through a natural disaster and I dont want to.

[Trevor]

I would be very scared if I was in a flood zone I would try my best to help fill sand bags and block the water. If there was a disaster I would try to give aid to the hurt and provide food and give things like toys,blankets and cloths. I think it is very hard for the people in Fargo and I wish them all best of luck of surviving in the cold and wind. I hope the sand bags will hold the water up. And good luck and remember try your best.

[JADEN]

That was the most coolest flood story I have ever read.In my whole LIFE.

[Daniel]

Once there was a big thunder storm and it was verry windy.After a wile there was a lot of sticks, leaves,and branches on the ground. Then it got even more windy I thout there was going to be a tranado.My swings on the swing set were going around and a around and a around the thing they were hooked on.At 12:00 the storm was over. That is about the biggest disaster I have ever been in.

[christian]

i lived through a couple of natural disaster there was 3 tornadoes coming for our county when i lived in a different state and i really hope this comunity can make a miricale happen and live through this hopefully nothing is damaged to severly but we all should have hope like the rest and help out if anything happens to there community.I hope the loacals can place the sand quik eneough so that they don't harden and go to waste like they said they would. =(
I wish i could do something to help there comunity, but the most i could think is to raise money for the worst if the worst comes and if we all should help them out. my expeirence with the tornado was terrifying, esspecialy with the power out my cousin and i where sulking in the corner and wishing the storm would go away him saying he was scared of the dark and how he hated thunder and lighting of course we where little at the time but it was a lesson. a tree fell and destroyed his dog house and had to be rebuilt, it was a disaster the next day we decided to stay indoors and draw =) lol thats it for know.

[Erin]

No, I think that would be so scary and horrible!

[Nathan]

I would be very scared if I was there. I have been hearing about that for a couple of days on the wether channel. It is pretty devistating to see the water rising and have to stay in Fargo to help control it in the harsh wether.

[Taylor]

I had to go through Hurricane Katrina.We stayed in used to be me and my sisters playroom for 2,3,or 4 days.We had to be still the whole time.
