Thank you Darlene, I've never experienced one but have seen the aftermath of one, complete devastation. Tom

Thank you Caren, I've only seen them on TV, but they are devastating to watch, the power of nature. Tom

Enjoyed reading this one. The calm is a welcome if one is in the middle of the storm but if they know it is doubled sided then they know that the respite is only temporary. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Thank you Sara, saw a documentary about them and it unleashed its fury and then there was a calm before starting up again. Tragic to see people losing everything they own in a very short space of time. Tom

Very expressive, Tom. These 'demons' might be great to watch on film, but scary if in the vicinity! Regards // paul

Another perfect Haiku Tom, so much imagery in your three descriptive lines, how do you do it? You stretch your imagination with an excellent delivery every time. This is a fave for me....Maria

Indeed it is Andrea, I was in Grenada a few years ago and saw the aftermath of one, it was like a war zone. Tom

It is Kim but its only a temporary respite and the Demon starts up again, can last 5mins or 30 depending on the size of the hurricane. Tom
