an incident when i was caught in a storm

Thunder boomed in the distance. Suddenly the storm was above us. There was an earsplitting crack. The air filled with screams, some of them my own. It was a lightning strike! Then blackness and distant thunder.

the incident happened two years ago. As the weather report said that those few days were sunny and there were no signs of any storms, my group of friends decided to go on a cruise to relax after the end of year exams. Little did we know that our relaxing cruise will turn out to be a disaster.

That day after the storm had eased, my palms were full of sweat. I noticed that my friends faces were all pale white. Now just thinking about that incident, the loud booming of thunder and the crack of lightning, sends shivers down my spine.
