The Great Storm: How it should have happened
As the weather issue was warned the residents of Summer Bay where preparing for the worst. They had a plan of action and if anything happened they would know where to go which was Summer Bay High School. But the storm came all too quickly and with not enough time to prepare and many people still going about their day to day jobs.
A few hours earlier:
John Palmer was watching the news on the local radio as the weather warning was being said he decided that Xavier Austin should go down and close the beach.
As Xavier was walking down to the beach the wind was picking up and a dark cloud was forming over the sea and was creeping ever so closer to Summer Bay beach. Xavier managed to close the beach and get the last of people of and telling them if it got worse go to Summer Bay High School.
John was getting anxious Xavier had been closing the beach for a while. All of a sudden John felt this really bad pain in his back. It was so bad that he was bending over when Gina walked in. She rushed over to John.
"You need to call 999." Gina grabbed the phone and called for an ambulance. As she did that Sasha Bezmel walked in and ran over to John and helped him until the paramedics got there. All of a sudden John collapsed on the floor lucky less than five minutes later the paramedics arrived and took care of John. As they were putting John in the back of the ambulance Sasha snuck back into the house where the paramedics had left their equipment ready to come back. Sasha managed to get a few supplies but then got stopped by Xavier coming through the door.
As the weather was getting worse and the Palmer's had gone to the hospital the storm started picking up. At Mangrove Bay Heath and Brax went to help out.
"God, look at it were not going to be able to get back in time if we have to put up all these sand bags." Brax said.
"Well the sooner we do this the sooner we get this over and done with." Heath said.
"Do you think the other will be okay?" Slightly concerned about Casey
Realizing that he was worried about Casey Heath replied "Casey's a Braxton he'll be fine." Heath and Brax had finished putting up the sand bags. Suddenly there was a loud crack of thunder and the rain started pouring heavily. They were near Darcy's school as Heath took a quick glance at it he realized that the school had been starting to flood.
"Look you go back to Summer Bay and I'll go and get Darcy." Heat said to Brax.
Brax looked up, "Do you think that's a good idea I mean it's getting worse and Connie will pick Darcy up." Wanting to get back up the school.
"Dude, the school is flooding and we don't have time, you go ahead and I'll see at the school with Dacre." Heath said and with that he ran off in the school's direction.
Brax put up his hoodie and legged it has he got up to local pub he looked inside to see if anybody was there and surprise, surprise his mum was in there, he texted Casey saying that he will be there just soon but he was just trying to get mum out of the pub.
He went into the pub and saw his mum with her head on the counter top, she was obviously very drunk. "Mum we need to get out of her and go to the school the storm his hitting us harder." Brax said.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I've been listening to the news, but there is no need to right this minute its not that b bad" His mum said sullying her words.
