Question

Just not a long time ago did I finish my blog about the unforgettable snowy storm that I had on Monday night in November. I got another big   36  in Seattle again. But this time, it's not snow, but the wind and rain. I have   37  seen such a strong wind before even though I had    38  the typhoon every summer when I was still in my home country.

That    39  storm was so powerful that it    40  the whole big Seattle area out of    41  . 700,000 people had no electricity, and    42  13 people have died. Seattle is famous for its evergreen trees, but those trees made a big   43  this time. They broke down the power line above the ground,  44  the road and streets, and    45  the houses.

As the last storm was still   46  in my mind, I had another personal   47  about this new storm.   48  , this time, it was not good either. I was    49  to have my TOEFL test on the second day of the stormy night. Since the whole city had no electricity, my test had to be    50  off, and I had to prepare for another one later. It was my last test for the   51   , and I already made a plan for the time after the test, but now    52  is changed.

I guess sometimes, the way that the thing    53  is not always what you    54  . And what I can do now is to fit for it.   55  , we got a free hotel room from my husband's cousin and met my lovely nephew from San Francisco.
