… as the weather changed, they …by Sophie

The weather was cold and wet and there was no life about, just a boring old little town. We had flood warnings but the sea was still quite calm and I didn't think anything was going to happen. Unfortunately, the sea got stronger and came up to the beach edge, and as the weather changed, they {the coastal guards} put the flood barriers up. I now began to get worried so I decided to get my gas burner out and I took some food and valuable things upstairs just in case the worst happened. I just hoped nothing would happen...
