Creative-Writing: A Volcano Eruption

The readings went off the chart.

Suddenly, the ground started shaking. Loud rumblings of the rocks from the mountains were heard. It was a huge landslide! Everyone ran for cover so as not to get hit by the huge boulders. There was no way to go except to the boats. They had to evacuate the island. The mountain people watched as the huge boulders rained on their homes.

Then, without warning, a huge explosion occurred. The volcano erupted, spilling hot lava down the mountain. The eruption killed many lives and wiped out the whole island. Many were left homeless and stranded on tiny boats in the middle of the ocean. They waited days and nights for rescue to arrive. But it never did.
