Wendy's Weather Warriors Book 5: Attack of the Giant Flood
hardly ever wrong about a forecast Of course no one could completely predict every moment of the weather especially in Texas Wendy’s father nodded There’s a possibility of some rain coming in by the end of the week I wonder if I’ll get to do any storm spotting 6
Wendy’s eyes opened wide Tornadoes she asked Probably not her father said But sometimes we get sudden heavy rain this time of year Wendy smiled But isn’t that good It’s been too dry Mom’s flowers are dying The grass looks almost yellow Her father clicked off the television We definitely need rain But too much of a good thing can be dangerous Wendy knew what he was thinking about floods Where she used to live in East Texas it flooded a lot when there were heavy rains Once they had to put sandbags on their back porch because the water was starting to come into their kitchen Now they were in the panhandle of Texas They had all kinds of weather 7
there It was time to do a little research on flooding in their area Wendy went into the backyard and into the Weather Warriors clubhouse It was really starting to look like a weather clubhouse The walls were covered with pictures that Jessica had taken There were pictures of the tornado that hit Circleville Elementary And there was a great shot of lightning over the soccer field during the big play-off game One of Wendy’s favorite pictures was of the Weather Warriors standing beside the giant snowman they built during the snow party Even Austin Scott was in the picture It was thanks to his idea and his father’s snow-making machine that they had the snow party The newest picture was of Mr Andrews being dunked at the Hail to the King Spring Carnival 8
