It was like being hit by a giant truck while standing in a thunderstorm.
The Big Hit
The Storm After
Right after the hit, everything shook really hard, like the ground was dancing under your feet. Then came the super hot wind from the explosion, which could burn anything in its path. Soon after, the sky turned dark because of all the dust and smoke floating up from the crash.
Then it started raining, but not regular rain. It was big rocks falling from the sky, like a really messy snowstorm, only with rocks instead of snowflakes. That’s what made everything so wild and crazy for the dinosaurs!
Examples
