Desperate Measures

One day, in the summer of 2013, I went to Cedar Point with a couple of friends. We got there when it opened and planned to stay until they closed, but something had come up. There was thunder storm and tornado warnings for the area. At first, we weren't that frightened because it was still sunny and we didn't see any storms approaching. But about 10 minutes later, it got really dark and eerie. Heavy rain came out of no where and the tornado sirens were going off telling us to seek shelter right away. Since Cedar Point is an outdoor amusement park, we were not sure what to do or where to go. We tried everything, like going under umbrellas, trying to go to the car to leave, and we even tried to go into the stores but they were closed. We couldn't figure out what to do and we were very scared. Finally, as we were running through the park trying to find somewhere to go, a worker came up to us and told us to go the bathrooms immediately. When we aarived at the bathrooms, the WHOLE park was trying to squeeze in there to seek shelter. My friends and I stayed in the bathrooms until the sirens went off and the weather cleared up. After all, everything worked out great and we went home as soon as the workers let us leave the bathrooms, just in case there was going to be another storm...
