Answer:
Alright,
Step-by-step explanation:
Dear <friend>,
Recently there's been flooding where I live. Two weeks ago I woke one morning to water everywhere, and I was almost fully submerged. Lots of elders had to get their things and evacuate to the shelter. The ones that stayed, formed a cleaning group. We would all help clean up the debris from the flood. It was very cold and muddy. All of us that stayed worked hard to rescue those who were stranded and clean up the trash the flood brought in. Anyway, I just wanted you to know what's been going on. I hope to see you soon!
Sincerely,
<your name>
Hope this helped :)
