Departing Storm

Departing storm you've wreaked your wrath

As such I've seldom seen

The power of your winds and rain 

Ripped through county Racine

With straight line winds, tornado too

And lightning bright as day

The savage fury of your approach

Cause trees to bend and sway

And at the peaking of your pass

My kitty was not found

For under bed he hid away

'Til your ferocity calmed down

And as I see you slip away 

into the dark of night

I breathe a sigh of great relief

But know you're not contrite

Goodbye to you, departing storm

To your thunder and lightning complicity

I'd watch the radar to see you leave

But you left me without electricity
