On Monday 26 of January 2009 the Basque Country suffered from a very significant cyclone. We were warned during the week-end but we never suspected this storm was going to be the way it came out to be.
The students of ASB came to school at 9:00 am, as we normally did. When we arrived, a huge surprise was wating for us; ther wasn´t electricity in the school! The lights did not switch on, the classrooms were freezing, and the roof of the hall was blown away. When the students realized the gravity of the situation, joy was in their face.
¨If we do not have electricity ...this means we do not have school.¨
¨We cannot have class with no light, no heat no electricity.¨ I bet many of us thought that way.
However, the teacher´s situation was different. The students were out of control and the teaches were nervous. They couldn´t keep all of us save so they finally decided that the best way of protecting us was sending us home. That is exactlly what we did,we called our parents and they came to pick us up.
In San Sebastián the wind blew so roughly that the police had to help the people that were on the streets.

As you can also see this cyclone also caused severe floods in some businesses. This business for example is Mercado de la Ribera.
