Roaring in like a speeding train, there was no time for me to flee. And my house disintegrated into pieces all around me. Catapulted from my spinning bed, I was tossed around like debris. And in a whirlwind of darkness, it was impossible to see. The air was sucked out of my lungs, and I passed out, thinking I'd die. But I found myself on my back, buried below an angry sky. 'Twas a miracle I survived that storm; it gave me quite a fright. For suddenly, I realized a tornado touched down last night. I was trapped under some rubble, my legs pinned by a fallen tree. But I could hear people digging, and thanked God someone had found me! (Quatrain) 9/1/2015

A sad impact to many lives when hit by a disaster. Not only tangible things that need to repair but also life's sorrow and heartaches, someone has to unravel and start picking up the pieces again. Excellent write, Emile. (^_^) Noel.

Emile...You aptly describe the sudden devastating that occurs when a tornado hits. Not all are lucky enough to come out of it alive! Nature often comes to remind us how feeble we humans really are! // paul
