What devastation. Irma has no mercy. 

A sudden plunge into grey
people, pets, and homes fall prey 
hurried storm clouds gather 
howling wind thrashing through trees 
In submission lay fallen leaves

branches finally capitulate 
bending to gale force winds
merciless Flagellation 
rain pelts down hard
thunder roars with authority 
lightning flashes menacing anger 
striking blue, purple, orange bolts
tossed around with rage
boats float on water like dolls 
broken and bent electric poles 
homes are flooded 
people displaced 
Donald Trump shows his face
deployment of people to help
dealing with this devastating hell
she does not relent 
Mother Nature is hell bent.

In haste as I watch the news.
