I was sitting near several candles，but I had trouble reading.Saturday，Jan. 10，1：00 p.m.The storm stopped this morning，and I drove my car to look for an open store. The trees along the roads were broken. I only bought the most necessary things：bread，some fruit，more drinking water and batteries (电池) for the flashlight.
