Since we have been studying weather, the kids were pretty fascinated with the flooding that happened two weekends ago.  Justin wrote a piece about that topic.  

         Flooding

The flooding from hurricane Norbert and Odilie cause California, Arizona and Nevada to flood a lot. Over 400,000,000 people without power.  2 people have died. Hotels completely destroyed. Here all the rain that we have got is all because of that hurricane madness. The roads have collapsed, cars floating away. How would you like to be swept away by water? So when a rain storm hits, make sure to have a flashlight or a candle nearby.
