In The Eye Of The Storm

It has no conscious and does not care! To know it's coming brings much despair! A Great Big Bully, lands on this earth. This spinning funnel is heading North! Dark clouds You see, hailstones and Rain! Destruction follows, Strong Winds to blame! The Weather channel on high Alert! Warns increase wind gust, are getting worse! Nowhere to run to, nowhere to go! You're at its mercy, loosing all hope! A cursed word screamed at the howling wind! As windows break, and the storm roars in! You Brace yourself as it makes impact! Your home lifts up, drops, as you react! Your at its Mercy, as debris flies! In a state of shock, but still alive! Your soul is shaken, as winds die down! Destruction and damage, all around! You catch your breath, there's nothing left! Broken and crying, from this Attack! The storm is over, calmness returns. Oh No, Near Cuba, another Storm!!!!! Michael Tor Michael Tor I wrote this for all those souls including my brother Gus and his family that are waiting for Miltons's wrath. Please pray for these souls. Thank you.

Off the grid with Dog and Stacy a Youtube podcast that I follow. Reported what their son had told them being part of Helene's recovery team that the word out there was not what the media claimed of over 200 that had perished. His estimation from being there and what he saw and heard was tens of thousands had perished. Ask yourself why the controlled media is underestimating the death count. You can't trust the fake news Tom. Keep your common sense in your pocket and never trust your government and the media, they are on the same team against us...

Luckily my brothers home did not get wrecked like a few of his neighbors. He sent me a video of a Tornado two hundred feet from his home, it was almost black. The family were bracing themselves for impact.... He said his neighbors had damage. These acts of nature ( or our government some say) are random and they build up in a few days out at sea and turn into Monsters. Those living on the West Coast get hit the worst. They usually travel in a Northeast direction and hit the Southern states like South Carolina and North Carolina where Helene killed many.

Tom where my brother lives in St Lucie County, was one of the worst places it hit. It wasn't expected because he lives so much inland but they were close to the Eye of the Hurricane. Ironically there were 58 Tornadoes that were formed from this storm and they all landed in St Lucie County. The word on the street is that the media down played how many died. My brother told me that four had died in a trailer park, the tornadoes devestated the park, to the bare foundations. They found a car on top of a house. That is the power of a Tornado that formed from the Hurricane.

I do not know how I missed this one. Another powerful write. Hope your brother is still OK after Miltons's wrath. I heard St. Lucie got hit hard. I hope he/family are still OK. Florida is a great place except when the storms show up. As a kid, I can remember water running out of my dad's car with small boat going down the streets. Guess everywhere has some kind of bad weather from time to time. Hugs... Have a Great/Blessed Day As You Write Away..................

Thank you Paula. My brother is OK. He lives in one of the worst counties that were hit by the storm. Port St Lucie. Florida is a beautiful state but the Hurricanes really give it a bad name. I hope you are well and I thank you for stopping bye. Hugs and blessings your way...

Hello my friend. My brother is OK. He told me in the County of St Lucie where he lives 58 Tornadoes touched down. They did the most damage. His neighbors had house damage it wasn't as severe as other parts of Florida. These storms are becoming a regular event. It causes much stress among the Floridians that live there. I rather face the snow blizzards up here in NY then the Hurricanes in Florida. It seems like you cant win. Hope you are well my friend and so glad to see you doing what you do best and that is writing...

Hi Arthur, thank you Sir for coming by. I did not know non premium don't show up. I definitely have to become a premium member. I have put it off too long. It sure is heartfelt. My brother said 58 Tornadoes touch down in the County he lives on, a record amount cars on rooftops, trailer parks wiped out. So far in his area five people gave their lives to Milton. Sadly these monsters are turning up every month and more. I appreciate your support. God bless you my friend...

Tom I just talked to my brother in St Lucie county a record 58 tornadoes touched down in his county killing many. He sent me a picture of a tornado putting a car on top of a house. He said he could see the tornado through his windows and he said it just missed missed his house it did go through the gated community he lives in and said it destroyed one of the homes there. We prayed for him and God delivered Tom. Thank you Sir for stopping by...

Thank you Jan my brother lives in Port St Lucie. He is according to the trajectory very close to the eye if this Monster turns South. If it continues on its trajectory he will be 20 miles from the edge of it. They are saying tonight it will touch down. They also are saying this is one of the worst storms. So many souls in jeopardy Jan. I will be praying for all Floridians. Now Tornadoes are touching down already in Florida and the wind gust for Milton is 175 miles per hour. Many tornado warnings.. Yes Jan lets hope everyone stays safe. God bless you and a big hug.
