Bolts of lightning split the ebony sky, turning night into day
The thunder roared as the rain assaulted the window panes
Wind was blowing and starting to howl, it was so fierce now,
The rain was lying down.
Tree limbs fell from the stormy sky; leaves askew all over
the muddy ground. Ice began to pound the house, huge golf balls
were falling all around. They fell apart when they hit the grass, leaving
melting shards of glass.
The cruel wind bullied a tree, and pushed it on the roof of a house.
The leaves and branches jumped up and down, ‘til the tree gave
Way and hit the ground.
Objects left on lawns were now birds flying around, smashing into
one another, an awful sound. A child’s swing set fell against the
house, smashing the back door. And in the kitchen, six
inches of water standing and running on the floor.
Mercifully, morning came, the rain and wind had stopped. The sun
was shining, quiet at last. But as the people looked around to see
the awful damage that had been done, even with newborn peace ,
they knew that Mother Nature's fury would once again be unleashed.
