  1. Composition - On a Thunderstorm

    Share Share Post
    For the past month the weather has been very bad with rain and a bad thunderstorm. Th thunder started early in the evening and about seven the lightning was seen and more thunder was heard but it was far away. At half past seven there was a loud peal of thunder, which was followed by a flash of lightning. It was that flash that caused all the damage throughout the country.
