Perfect. 'Or I'll Huff and I'll Puff' clearly shows who the master is and that's Mother Nature. Humans bulldoze mountains, build cities, lace the land with ribbons of highways and rail but they cower when Mother Nature grumbles. All it would take is one huge volcanic eruption to send modern civilization back to the caves or to send mankind the way of the dinosaurs. The earth wouldn't care. She would start to mend and the survivers, which could be plant, insect or animal, would move on.

Karla, no matter what you write, you do it well, but I have to say that your nature writes are my favorite...and this is no exception. Wind and cold rain have never been my favorite things....but give me a warm ocean breeze any day!

I love listening to the wind blow around my camper, even though the whole thing moves...but with regards power outages, I am self-contained with a generator to back me up as long as the fuel holds out...Ed (even if I had a house or an apartment I would have at least a small generator)

Days like these are nerve wracking nights can be real nightmares and when the power goes off there is often such a sense of being under siege. Well done Karla,

when nature beckons with force, we all suffer the same vulnerability the three little pigs were subjected to -- wind, has always been my nemesis -- even though I realize we could not exist without the effects of the wind -- a very interesting perspective Karla -- hold on tight, don't let go -- peace and love -- Jon Michael

Hi Karla, I have never liked the wind. Give me thunder, lightening, rain.. but the wind is eerie to me. A breeze, I don't mind. You write it like I feel when the wind takes it's turn...
