A month ago the Brown family, who lived in Lyndhurst, had a special experience. She was making coffee while her husband, Frank, was watching a comedy program on television. Upstairs(在楼上) their young daughter, Ruth, was asleep in her room and their son, Mark, was doing some homework on his computer. However, at the end of the afternoon, it started to change. Soon, it began to rain very heavily. Tina looked out of the kitchen window and saw big storm clouds in the sky. The Browns' dog, Tilly, was in the back garden. Shortly afterwards, Tina saw lightning(闪电) in the sky and then everything in the house went dark. Frank was unhappy because the television didn't work. Then they heard baby Ruth crying.
