Storm Cool crisp tropical breeze creating goosebumps chilling nose evoking sneeze Angry sky crying tears knee high puddles tremoring fears Trees arching exceeding pressure cracks echoing devastation marching Avoiding landfall skirting coast gathering stream creeping crawl Tidal waves overtake land toppling piers digging graves Days looming threatening lives escaping turmoil extreme assuming Flooded aftermath trees uprooted boarded homes surviving wrath Bright sunshine drying sponge soaked ground storms gone wonderful sign. ------------------ Sometimes we have to follow a stronger voice, even if it's silent. |

Very nicely stated......I ecpecially like the lines : "Angry sky crying tears knee high puddles tremoring fears" ------------------ "In the depths of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer" ~Albert Camus |

Sounds like you may have been breakfast for Hurricane Floydd? Enjoyed the read. Nice work!  ------------------ Julie ------------------------- Today a man discovered gold and fame, Another flew the stormy seas; Another set an unarmed world aflame, One found the germ of a disease. But what high fates my path attend; For I-today-I found a friend. >Helen Barker Parker |

Very nicely done! Floyd there took a turn, thankful he didn't do as much devastation as he could of. |

Thanks to all of you, just thought since the storm was affecting the whole East Coast that I would put a little something together about it. I have to say Floyd kept everyone guessing, thank God he's gone. He did manage to take a poor older womens life here near where I live, by falling a tree onto her car.  |

Very nice, LD - I'm happy to say Floyd passed over me as a mere tropical storm - Must have been your input..... |
