Hello Sara. You've succinctly + poetically captured our collective panic when storms threaten. We all rush grocery storm aisles. Very well written! Hope that you are well. Brian

Hi Sara, for one reason or another people are stocking up for how long this crazy world will last even with stock up I have no idea, for whether we believe the East or the West Planet Earth needs to survive. Lovely Senryu my friend. Hugs blessings Jennifer

Jennifer, Thanks for your understanding review. We do have a tendency to go for extras when a situation seems to be coming in regard to the weather. Your visit was uplifting. Sara

Well, this is familiar. People do tend to get in a rush at the last minute. Well done.

Sara, this is an awesome haiku series. Fortunately, we live on the east coast, which has had its share of cold and ice.

Lasaad, Up above us has had their share of the ice and snow and rain this year but down below we have had mostly rain but snow was predicted during that storm but we only got a little. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

We have run up against panic buying from time to time…I read an article about the unnecessary amount of food purchased that was thrown away because it went out of date….Delice

Delice, I think that some panic buying has happened again during this surge of COVID plus all the storm activity across the nation. I try to get what I need one week at a time. I haven't had to throw out anything, but I did donate some canned goods that they substituted for what I ordered when I did not click on the do not substitute area. Your visit is appreciated. I always enjoy the comments. Sara

My kind of thoughts dear Sara... How can you predict when all is an illusion.

Pashang, Thank you for your kind review of my work. I did not predict but the weather channel did. Sara

That's how it is when a storm is predicted. I see what you see. Soon to pass I hope and we will be back to normal.

Vijay, They say most of the day today for us. We only got the rain, wind, lightning and thunder so far. The bad ice, sleet, and snow went above us. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara
