Tempest

Wildly the tempest rages in a rampage strong and unrestrained, harnessing the mighty force of nature's will to devastate both land and sea, its power unrelenting; the heavens are veined with lightning, and the wind's sheer strength shows no sign it will abate.

when nature is excited....there is no way to fight it....we will lose every time....there is no shelter an earthquake find....no structure the wind can not blow away....nothing man made the ocean can't swallow on any day....because All Power Is In His Hands....So Whatever Happens Is In His Plan....wonderful write my friend....

Sounds like a hurricane...I've seen enough of those. A tempest storm reeks lots of havoc.

Here in Florida we are always susceptible in hurricane season, although living in Clearwater I have to say we haven't been bothered by them... yet! Thanks Lin! Best wishes, Keith
