Big Storm sound its tam-tam to let everybody know who's the Big Chief flying with the eagles and spitting fire lights at the unruly wolves.
Fear Big Storm not if offers were giving to the totem.

Like Eileen says, you write brilliantly about your bete noir, Karla. Maybe THAT'S the silver lining?! Stay safe and keep writing... nerves twanging the base of your spine is a superb image! :)) xx

...I don't really know if hearing 'Anticipation' by Carly Simon...on the radio...would be of much consolation either. Sorry Karla...just trying to divert your attention for a moment. ...it is no fun to fare the storms...when one recognizes the power of their voice...calm is wished for you.

No storms here in Georgia, just much talk of droughts that don't exist. Hang in there Karla, I have a phobia and it cuts the quality of life so. May we both continue to face the beast head on. Good work!

Be well and happy,
Kathy

Yeah, I'd hate it if I was as fearful of the weather as you and other are . . . Must be horrible . . . Put on your best CD and just try to chill out. . .

I hate this severe weather time too, Karla; TRUST me. I hope the storms bypass us with nothing but gentle showers and very little in the way of wind, lightning or thunder. Very well penned capture of your fear; brava!
