Wendy's Weather Warriors Book 2: Look Out for Lightning
Mrs Stuard was the principal at Circleville Elementary If she hadn’t listened to Wendy and her friends about tornado safety a lot of people might have been hurt when tornado hit Circleville last month the Dennis jumped up and bowed to Jessica Congratulations Jessica giggled From the corner of the clubhouse came a loud bark Cumulus dropped the bone he was chewing on and jumped at Dennis The Schnoodle a cross between a schnauzer and a poodle loved Wendy’s friends My brother is on the Circleville Cougars soccer team Dennis said scratching Cumulus behind his ears We’re going to pound the Diamond Ducks into dust Duck dust 8
He jumped up and made an imaginary kick across the room And the Cougars score again he shouted Wendy cleared her throat Okay enough about soccer Like I was saying my dad got this really neat video It’s all about lightning Jessica squealed Dennis put his hands over his ears supersonic the Hey what’s with squealing Sorry but I’d love to get some lightning pictures Jessica said I’ve got some cool lightning posters in my room Wendy nodded She’d seen them They were cool Electrifying Dennis shouted Hey wanna do some electricity experiments All we need is a balloon and oh wait anyone got any spearmint breath mints 9
Not right now but I bet they would be great in class Wendy said My dad said I could take the lightning video to school I bet Mr Andrews would let us show it during science Dennis and Jessica agreed it was a great idea Wendy said I wonder if Mrs Stuard knows anything about lightning safety I saw this video on the news once where this guy got zapped by lightning when he was mowing his lawn Jessica said Zapped when he was mowing Dennis asked Who mows their lawn in the middle of a thunderstorm Wendy pulled a thick book off the shelf beside her ham radio The title was Wild Wacky Weather Stories He probably wasn’t mowing in a storm Wendy said opening the book 10
In here there’s a bunch of stories about people getting struck by lightning on a clear day She read them stories about people getting hit by lightning while playing golf and swimming One guy even got struck while watching television in his garage I think we need to talk to Mrs Stuard tomorrow at school Wendy suggested After all if the Weather Warriors hadn’t talked to their principal about tornado safety everyone at Circleville Elementary might’ve blown away She didn’t want anyone at school to end up zapped by lightning 11
