There's something we must not forget: the rage of nature's force is set when monstrous hurricanes beget their surge of winds and waves to let our warning plans become offset. As floods drown homes without regret, along with lives- a cherished pet; strong winds continue to abet in downing buildings, trees- then fret with toppling bridges- doubling threat. This deadly wind and flood duet- devoid of patterns, does beset; with every hurricane roulette- disaster is the epithet! For nature's force- we pay our debt.

Great mono-rhymes Sandra. I'm in central Florida and luckily was spared by the one that hit the southwest coast. Lots of downed trees but no real damage to my house. You speak the truth about the unpredictability of these storms.

WOW, a painfully accurate accounting of the horrors of such a storm.

An old gag in the UK is that the whole world gets ‘climate’ but we get ‘weather’. Seeing the news reports of late, though… I’m happy to settle for ‘weather’. A fine write, Sandra (my fave in the contest - no offence intended to others). Congrats on your trophy win. Terry
