Evacuation of New Orleans

Slow streams of headlights
Chased by stormy memories
And a hurricane

Cone of Doom

The days of waiting
I hate hurricane season
The cone of doom sucks

Just reflecting on the anxiety of hurricane forecasts - the cone of doom is about as reliable as a broken watch.

Calm Before the Storm?

A beautiful day
Sun shines, birds sing, children play
Calm before the storm?

So, Tropical Storm Fay (probably become a Cat 1 hurricane soon) may hit here. So weird for today to be so lovely while Tuesday could be so crappy.

Summer Night Thunder

Summer night thunder
Vociferous storm clouds speak
Taunting us below

Torrential Downpour

Torrential downpour
Faces at the window watch
Grey, swirling storm clouds

Flickering Flame

A flickering flame
Dances . . . defying wind, rain . . .
Lighting my path home.

Hiding in the Bathroom

Trembling little friend,
Afraid of the loud thunder,
Hides in the bathroom.

Storm

Grey clouds rolling in
Lightning flash and thunder crash
Get out the candles

Black & White World

A black and white world
On stormy days . . . rain washes
Away the colors.
