The rains came without question or pause until rivers and streams bloated and purged into ditches and fields, back roads and main streets, backyards and basements. Sunshine and rainbows caught glimpses of the puddling, pooling, pouring over and into of the water’s wake and ruin. Displaced creatures and people clamored, swam and crawled to higher, drier ground, to wait and pray. Pleading for receding. The rains came over abundant in season with no question as to reason. They fell without pause or a lack of impunity. Water flowed as water will, without question or pause to the sea as designed. LGR(C)5/27/19 |

That must have been terrifying. Lives were lost, I believe in some part/s of the USA - so sad, and what a terrifying way to go. Very well described, Lori. During a recent cyclone in Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe, thousands of lives were lost and other thousands lost everything including their homes, as per my piece of prose in the prose section. Many were clinging to trees for days, and some fell out, including children and drowned. |
