In the meantime，my father was _25_ a shed roof that had partly fallen down after many years of fine service.If the tin flew offit could damage the house.My younger brother began _26_ carrying firewood under the shelter.My job was to help Mum board up the windows.If the storm _27_ into a cyclone(旋风)，the boards would protect the glass. The storm raged for four hours，_28_ more rain on us than we had seen in the last five years.As expected，the river broke its _29_ and came slowly up towards the house and the stock.
