An unprepared City

It had been raining all night long.
When I woke up on Sunday morning, it continued raining. The raindrops covered the entire atmosphere with a veil of water, very persuasive [I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but "persuasive" doesn't really make sense] and unpleasant. I prepared myself as usual to go into town to buy the newspaper with my new book of Tolkien’s collection, and I found myself feeling estrange for about this awful storm.
(There was) not a sound in the street. The big avenue that carries everybody takes people to the next city, called Saldán, was empty.
The stream that runs behind my house was really calm. The Dry Stream, a really great irony, but most of the time the stream is precisely actually/indeed dry. It had water this time now, much more than usual but anything nothing to be alarmed for about.
I waited for the rain to end, but it did not happen. I have eight dogs in my house and they were very anxious. My mother went downstairs and brought them all inside the house.
"Nadia, the basement is underwater!" she told me.
"What?!" I asked, very surprised.
We have a room for the dogs downstairs which is just behind the basement and the laundry room. Everything was underwater.
I went back upstairs, and I opened my laptop to inform myself find out about the storm, and but the internet was gone down. In At that moment, the rain stopped and the sun went came out. Then I started to hear heard a really big loud noise, like a thousand trucks coming into my home.
I ran to the third floor and I saw the stream like a big ocean of mud passed flowing right next to past my house. The yard disappeared under the water. I have a huge wall that separates the yard from the stream. It’s a wall made of stones, so it resisted the passing of the flood.
Many of my neighbours’ walls didn’t resist and the flood went directly into their houses. It was amazing, and something I’ve only seen in the movies.
My town is completely under the mud right now, many people lost their things, their houses, and their animals. The downtown city centre was the most affected part of the city. The stores were covered in mud, and they lost many of their businesses.
I saw a lot of families in on the roof of their houses. When we heard the first news, they’ve told us that many places in “Sierras Chicas” “The Small Mountains” had disappeared. Right now the storm is coming back, and the mud is still like a very bad memory of an awful Sunday.

Sorry to hear about your experience. It was lucky you had that wall.

The stream that runs behind my house was really calm. The Dry Stream, IRONIC REALLY, but most of the time the stream is precisely dry. THIS TIME HOWEVER IT CARRIES WATER, much more than usual but anything to be ALAREMD BY/ TO WORRY ABOUT.
I waitED for the rain to end, but it did not happen. I have eight dogs in my house and they were very anxious. My mother went downstairs and brought them all inside the house.
