Line, We had what was once called a September Gayle to come through here recently..There were many large limbs and some trees that were down..Some of those trees had the decayed heart..I wrote the Haiku then looked for a picture..Thanks for the comments...I appreciate you dropping by..Sara

Love the play on the word gale, Sara. Irma and Gayle. They should be locked up for life!!!

Andrea, I am using the old English spelling of the word gayle meaning storm..Hurricanes used to be called September Gayles..The Gayle named Irma was a bad sister but it could have been even worse as far as loss of life if the evacuations had not taken place like they did..Thanks for dropping by.Sara
