It didn’t rain for nine months, and there was no water in any of the lakes or rivers. All the food plants died, and people brought things into the area by truck every day. Next, we had a story about a kind of storm. It turns very fast over water and sometimes causes a lot of damage when it goes over land. It’s called a (34) ____________.

Read the passage and decide whether the following statements are T (True), F (False), or NI (No Information).
Most of the time, I write about blizzards, typhoons, floods, and so on. But I don’t ski in a blizzard or get wet in a flood. Well, this week’s blog is different, because this time I was there when something big happened! I was on holiday in an area which has earthquakes. I knew that before I went. But the last big earthquake there happened 50 years ago, so I didn’t really think about it when I booked. During the first few days, I went swimming every morning in the warm sea and then, in the afternoon, I walked up the side of the mountain behind the town. I didn’t climb over rocks or anything like that. I just walked slowly up a few hundred meters of one of the old donkey tracks. On the afternoon of the fifth day, I was on the mountain when the ground started to move. I remembered about the earthquakes then, and I thought, ‘The ground will open up and I’ll fall in.’ Then I looked down at the town and saw a huge wave coming very fast towards it. Houses near the beach disappeared under the water. I was safe on the side of the mountain, but my hotel fell down and I lost all my stuff.
