Stormy Weather On the Way

Stormy Weather is on the Way By Elton Camp The weather service says to be on the alert A front approaches that could cause hurt Heavy wind, torrential rain and large hail So I certainly hope this forecast will fail A tornado, a thunder storm may envelop We must be aware that such might develop It begins at midnight, the forecast said It sounds ominous—something to dread Right on schedule, rain began to descend Another uneasy night we will have to spend Near here there has occurred an EF-Five And many neighbors are no longer alive Storm forecasts I previously tended to ignore But I most surely won’t do that way anymore Lightning begins to flash from the west That’s the direction storms come the best The weather radio begin to loudly blare “Radar has spotted a rotation out there.” I uneasily review my home tornado plan To protect my family, I’ll do what I can An inside hallway seems our best bet For I haven’t installed a storm shelter yet I hope the storm won’t do what’s been told Yet again, lightning flashed, thunder rolled
