Hurricane Iwa Hits A hurricane? I n Soul hern California? Fur once the answer was yes. A violent storm, which struck on November 30th wreaked havoc throughout Riverside County for several days. On the worst day of the storm, Nobember 30th, the lights went out during second period and classes were kept in during snack. No one could figure out what was going on because the PA didn ' t work either. Later it was disclosed that there had been a tornado watch. The students would have been held indefinitely had the warning continued. Many students took the opportunity to play a practical joke on their teachers. They turned the light switches off so that when the power was restored the room would remain dark. It took Mrs. Sandoval ten minutes after the power came hack on to realize thai the light underneath her neighboring door meant that her lights should be on, not off, said Jeff Rhine. The whole class knew, but she didn ' t. Out in the community, trees were uprooted, glass was broken, cars and houses were smashed, and telephone lines were down. Most students were not affected by these disasters; they merely felt inconvenienced by lack of electricity at home resulting in no homework, TV, or radio. For most their problems were re- solved by the next day, but for some, however, the damage done would be remembered for years to come. Trying to keep warm, Sandy Ayala, Maria Renteria, Jeri Aboytes, Lynn Venegas, and Cindy Romo bundle up against the wind in the parking lot. windy and rainy days 33
