I am sure that would be a very frightening situation to see and even think one is about to be in. Thanks for sharing this one and for dropping by my page. We are okay so far this year. Sara

Such power is held in the hand of nature. Frightening is the thought to be caught unaware in that thunderous roar. Quality Haiku, Tom.
