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.

The second section in particular reminds me of emerging from hiding after a hurricane here in Florida - the sun shining brightly in the blue sky, a calm breeze going through everything, almost as if nothing happened, until your eyes meet the ground and you see your neighbors also emerging from hiding to start clearing tree branches from their yards and assess the damage to their homes. It's such a bizarre feeling, really, and you captured it well. I'm glad to hear that everything was okay with your home, and sad to hear that maybe some others didn't fare so well.

Scary, isnt it? I was a small town newspaper reporter in the late 90s and covered the aftermath of a tornado. It was so sobering how one house was completely untouched and the next demolished.
