Julia was scared. The wind was blowing harder now and the sky was getting dark. It started to rain. "Let's just hide in the tree house," she suggested. "No, that's not safe," Robbie said. "We have to get in a low spot, like a ditch, and cover our heads. Or we need to run inside."
Robbie looked at Julia and they decided together - they didn't want to be outside with a tornado. "Let's go," Robbie yelled and headed for the bookstore. They burst through the front door. "Help!" Robbie called. "Mr. Henry! We need help!" "Downstairs. We have to get downstairs!" Julia shouted. The twins dashed through the bookstore until they found the door that led to the basement. They ran downstairs. In the basement, they found the storeowner and a clerk. | |||||

There was no answer, but a radio was on and a newscaster was giving a tornado warning. "Everyone get inside," the radio said. "Get in the basement or in a reinforced room in the center of your house. Stay away from windows."
