Torn

Grey clouds tower above
Strong winds push and shove
Rain drops pelt like bullets
Sirens cry all night through it

 Thunder clashes, shaking the ground
People cry, another touched down

Train whistles blowing
But not a train was found
Everything went quiet
And all was still 
They woke the next morning 
No longer a town 
But a new land fill
