Storm Ali Was Here

The prophecy came true in the swamplands She rose from the bowels of an alligator’s belly Disengaging herself with the hands of a sorcerer Those who saw were struck as if by lightning She was confident and unhurried as predicted The storms are coming for sure, an old timer said Alligator wrestlers rose from the bottom of the swamp Following their queen through the jungles toward town She is coming! Some of the less fearful were screaming. The town began to shutter itself. Storm Ali was here!

Sometimes wreaking havoc in unimaginable magnitude. I think folks who are vulnerable are paying more attention these days.
