Quote #10

"We ran outside and saw a huge cloud, horribly black, moving toward us over the north fields. Papa slid down the roof, helping Sarah after him.

"A squall!" he yelled to us. He held up his arms and Sarah jumped off the porch roof.

"Get the horses inside," he ordered Caleb. "Get the sheep, Anna. And the cows. The barn is safest." (8.30-32)

When the squall finally hits, it's a big one. Jacob has the foresight to get everyone—and everything—inside the barn so they don't get battered by the wind, rain, and hail. Yikes.
