Last year, my family experienced a frightening earthquake. It happened at night when we were sleeping soundly.
Suddenly, my bed started shaking violently. I woke up confused, hearing things falling and breaking. My father shouted, "Earthquake! Under the table!" While we were crawling under the table, the whole house was shaking like a boat in a storm. I was holding my little brother's hand tightly, feeling his trembling.
After about a minute, the shaking stopped. We checked our home and found broken dishes but no one was hurt. My mother had prepared an emergency kit, which helped us feel safer.
This close call taught me to always be prepared. Now we have regular safety drills at home. Remember, preparation saves lives.

【范文三】台风经历(社区版)
A Close Call with a Natural Disaster
Two summers ago, a powerful typhoon hit our coastal town. It arrived when most people were preparing dinner.
The wind grew stronger by the minute. Soon, it was howling like a wild animal. Trees were bending almost to the ground. Our neighbor's roof was making scary noises. While my parents were securing the windows, I was helping move things away from the glass.
Suddenly, we heard a crash—a big tree had fallen on the road! Thankfully, no one was hurt. We stayed indoors for the whole night, listening to the storm rage outside.
When morning came, we saw the damage. But what impressed me most was how neighbors helped each other clean up. This experience showed me that unity is our best protection against nature's temper.
