Hammer, Ruth E: The Monster Storm

While spending a hot summer morning on the beach, Ruby notices a menacing cloud moving in from the horizon. She quickly leaves the beach, runs home, and arrives just as a monster of a storm is unleashed. From the safety of her house, Ruby listens to the frightening sounds outside and imagines the storm causing all kinds of damage. After the storm passes, Ruby discovers that the world has been unharmed and even refreshed. Perhaps the summer thunderstorm wasn't so terrible after all.
