Hitting so hard, Oklahoma City could not withstand
Crushing the buildings to flatten...

Thunderstorms and TornadoesMy mind tells me things won't be okay
For me until it's gone.
My mind tells my body it's okay
To sleep and hold no Earthly shape.
My mind tells my soul that it's okay
Things will be better off this way.
No more pain,
I wonder if I'll feel myself decay.
No...

The Birthplace of TornadoesStorms are brazen, often rude,
Lighting the sky with invectives
Of white-blue light terrible.
The rains carp the submissive
Ground wearing it so slowly
Down into curves, mud.
The thunder stomps through
Heaven’s empty rooms above.
It knows the children tremble
Beneath, conjuring punishments
Through tall silken crowns
Where venomous rodents erupt.
In boredom, the storm sulks
Away....

Tornadoes In the MindTornadoes in the mind
Explorers go in to see what they can find.
Thoughts and words flying this way and that
To many thoughts and words to fill a hat.
Psychosis of the brain
Leave all others out in the rain.
Tornadoes in the mind
Explorers go in to see what they...

Black TornadoesBlack tornadoes, destroy
Everything, in their path
Not bothering to stick around
for the aftermath
It's like Us, in their Misery, they
wish to give a bath
Just to break Us, and tear Our
hearts in half
As if this signature hit, is some
sort of autograph
Leaving behind this stillness and
Cold draft...

By Elton Camp

When natural disaster on Alabama did fall
The weather bureau warned us days before
And nobody ignores the forecasts anymore
Every family decides on the best place to go
And listens carefully to the NOAA...

Tornadoes of New HampshireYesterday I thought I try
to help some strangers, I thought I would cry
So we drove an hour and half to meet
The rain was so torrential we could hardly see
But our mission was true and hopefully we strove
All along the road a beautiful green land cove...

WeatherThe Seasonal family

When it comes to
a family reunion,
they are never far behind.
Winter, Spring, Summer

With her daughter

Mother Nature’s
first born, Weather.
She is not as predictable
as we would like to think.
Weather may be

Jym Ganahl He Knows It All
I love the snow and beautiful blue skies,
gentle rain and thunderstorms,
winds that blow the fall leaves,
leaving a gold carpet up to my knees.
I don't like duratio winds,
or tornados that suddenly blow in,
earthquakes that take down walls,
or warm fronts that stall.
When flood warnings are posted,
I always...
