Sudden Ocean Storm

Lightening smashing, crashing down
In the water all around
Monster bolts like giant trees
Ozone filled the pregnant breeze
Two storms collided in our way
One was purple, one was gray
Where they met looked like a war
The thunder was a constant roar
Everywhere the lightening flashed
It looked like surely we’d be dashed
Grand battle of the elements roared past
But we were safe as it left at last

G'day John... Good description of one of those frightening storms that prove that Mother Nature is still in comment. I've been in a couple that had me wondering what might happen. Thank you John - Lindsay

Glad you enjoyed it and it is a true story. The clouds were two different colors (probably one negative and one positive charge) and when they came together all that energy was released at once.
