The Storm

The storm wind whipped
The drive to the store was skipped
The windows boarded
A sigh of relief when the storm is thwarted

Citizens evacuate
Debris includes a gate
The wind blows
Fear shows

When will it hit
In a town it will sit
Homes destroyed
Rescuers deployed
Tears of sorrow ultimately prevail
Boats turned over, no longer will sail

Lives turned upside down
No smiles, only frowns

The government will step in
Rebuilding will begin
