After that they found mom and got Mrs. Smiley out of the basement and got her on the bus for K-mart. Mom and Ryan were already at K-mart but when they got Mrs. Smiley on they could not get on because it was to full so they got a ride from a police and then another tornado went passed and the polices glasses shattered and he could not see so Dan drove to the police office and they slept there. The next day Arthur and Stacey found their dad and left and Dan got a ride to K-mart and then when they got there everyone was gone then Dan was sitting on the curb with no one was with him then his dad came behind him in his car and he already had mom and Ryan.
Setting!!!
Nebraska, Grand island, Dan's house, Arthur's house, Mrs. Smiley's house, and K-mart.
Did you know that the tornados actually hit Grand Island, Nebraska? Dan's name is Mark in real life!!!!!!!!!!!! Arthur does not have 7 sisters he has 3 brothers? Another important part of the setting is time. The author used time instead of chapters to tell when things happened in the story.
