The Flood



The flood took many things
that people needed
For instance their houses, cars
everything
People started off with everything
but ended up with nothing. The flood
took it all
The flood was awful
It hurt many people because of all
the destruction
The flood is causing many people
to do alot of reconstructing
The Flood of Georgia
