A heavy rainstorm hit the city last night. While most people were staying safely at home, many others were working hard to keep the city safe. Here is what they were doing.
Tom, a firefighter, was driving a special truck with his team. They were pumping out floodwater from the streets. He was also rescuing people who were trapped in their cars, calming them down while waiting for the water to go down.
Dr. Chen was at the hospital. She was working all night to take care of people who got hurt or sick because of the storm.
Mr Li is a power worker. He was out in the rain, checking the broken power lines. He and his team were trying hard to restore the electricity for the neighborhood. The wind was still strong, making their work very dangerous. They didn't stop until the lights in the buildings finally came back on.
David is a police officer. He was standing at a flooded crossing, directing traffic and helping people avoid dangerous roads. He was getting completely wet, but he kept a smile to make people feel better.
Sarah is a TV reporter. She was reporting the latest news outside in the rain, telling people which roads were closed and how to stay safe.
