    The rain was pouring down. There was no doubt that this was the worst storm they have ever faced. Lightning lit up the night sky and a clap of thunder goes off in the distance. It was sometime at eight o'clock when the storm started, and it had not stopped for three hours. The clopping of horse shoes against the cobblestone road echoed throughout.
