Floods

Torrential rain falls Rivers swell, bursting their banks Floods consume the land Houses submerged deep Anguished cries of lost homes rise Water, ruthless foe Nature's wrath unleashed Mighty force engulfs all life Hope floats amidst fear

such topical haiku Jeanine, the devastation caused is horrendous , sadly houses especially ones built near rivers or on flood plains are at risk, but it can happen anywhere - on our island a few years ago it happened close to a harbour and people were canoeing along the streets where the shops were!! hugs jan xx

Thank you Jan. I agree it can happen anywhere and it is happening now in various parts of the world. As of right now we are on flood warning. Hugs.
