“The storm had been brewing for weeks. 

   When I look back and remember those days of dripping rain, the thick, grey cloud blanketing the sky, the rolling thunder, I wonder how we didn't see it coming. We didn't realise it was building to something.

   Back then, we just thought it was stormy weather. 

   We had no idea what lay ahead. 

   We couldn't ever have imagined how it would engulf us.”
