Weather Forecast Winds of Fury

Mostly sunny today, hot With a high of ninety two Chance of precipitation later on Possibility of severe weather in some places Though the sun shone brightly and skies were blue Scattered thunderstorms were expected too An easterly wind gently blew As nomadic clouds floated through But later that day dark clouds loomed A roar of thunder underscored the gloom The sky lit up with lightening strikes Water poured down like a broken dike The howling wind sounded like a train approaching, speeding towards our terrain We could hear its destructive fury Tornado touching down as for cover we scurried Thunder pealed and skies were gray Destruction struck that very day A mighty wind fiercely blew A deadly tornado had just roared through contest name: weather forecast contest by: Joy Wellington

It must be quite an experience to get through one of these storms. You sure gave it some violence!

but it sure must have cooled things off!! Have you been in a tornado before? It would be spooky. Good way to do this challenge. I enjoyed this.
