Hurricane Harvey arrived in the night, pushing tidal waters onto the shore. And wailing in the dark, absent of light, His deadly winds surround His inner core. Sucking up gulf waters, He spews out rain, the torrential downpours flooding the ground. And in His wake, destruction, death, and pain abound; as the rains continue to pound. The rivers peek and the sewers back up, a slurry or water begins to rise. And folks that hunkered down run out of luck, now needing rescue, the world hears their cries. Texans are tough; they don't come much tougher but even they; aren't too tough to suffer. (Sonnet) 8/30/2017

Hi Emile, what a well written poem, I liked the last 2 lines very much. I hope flooding will come under control real soon, so sad to see so many suffer like that.
