The Storm

[swirlsofblue]

On Friday it’s slightly windy as I walk to work, and the rain is oddly violent considering there’s so little of it. The weather doesn’t seem unusual though, or even particularly bad. It’s February and torrential rain and howling wind is the norm in most months here. And so the assumption is that the storm is finding its feet elsewhere.

Yes, yes, yes! Perfectly presented, J. I just love this. And timely. It was an effin bad storm. Thank you for the REMINDER!

Thank you, glad you liked the way I presented it :)

Yeah, it was bad, I think it's probably the worst one I've been in.

Whew! Storms and subsequent damage is a legitimate fear.

Thank you, yeah it can be really scary

It's rather like going through a tornado - something amazing, but an experience you'd rather not repeat.

This builds up that sense of tension and fear that always comes with storms so well. I'm glad all was okay at your home, although it sounds like your community was definitely affected.

Thank you

Yeah, definitely

Wow, so glad you are ok!

The ending is so true. We are all one step away fro. Forever. We forget that and sometimes I think that's good as we need both perspectives sometimes...'today might be my last day" but also "today was crap, I will try again tomorrow."

Keep writing!!

Thank you

Yeah, I agree, we definitely need both perspectives
