For those who have not experienced a powerful hurricane...

 Eye of the Storm


From my viewpoint,
safe, dry, and warm.
Far away from,
the eye of the storm.

I still know the horror,
of being swept away.
Of winds so strong,
strong buildings sway.

Windows blown in,
and debris in the air,
dead birds raining,
wind howling to scare.

And horror of horrors,
when the water comes in,
and rises and rises,
until it's sink or swim.

The only thing to save you,
is being tied to a tree.
Imagine the horror,
that must be.

When the tree is,
torn from its roots,
by the force of the surge,
and you lose your boots.

Snakes in the water,
and no water to drink.
Only mud and slime,
and the smell of death's stink.

The sun comes out,
thank God you're alive.
With so many gone,
why did you survive?

I've been in some, hell could not be much worse. Here they have not been as devastating as some coastal areas but they are bad enough to never be forgotten. You captured the horror so well.

Wow an amazing poem, could feel like I was there. Mind you the weather here in the UK is helping me to imagine it. Think you guys have sent Irene over, Its wild here today, nearly got blown off the road earlier. Funny you should mention dead birds there are a few of them today and stuff flying everywhere. God bless. Baz

Thankful that Irene was not the threat to me in Delaware touted by the weather forecasters and news media. A few tree limbs strewn about and heavy rain for a bit from what I was told by friends who stayed. I evacuated to safe haven far to the west. You have captured a unique sense of the emotions that go with large, powerful storms Walt. I bid you love and peace my dear friend. Jon Michael

Only three strikes on the NJ coast in the last 200 years, & Irene was one of them, though it was definitely not as bad as all that...thankfully for those that live and work at the shore...mostly my friends...

We're just getting the last remnants of Irene's strong winds and gusts here in the Maritimes! Sure glad she was post-tropical because the winds were still knocking down trees and power lines. Hope we never have to experience what you described so clearly here, Ron! Thanks for sharing...
