Hi Susan:

So beautiful and so true.

The worst storms that I've seen came to visit me in Panama. They didn't have any tornados, but they sure had fierce thunderstorms that rumbled and grumbled for what seemed like hours.

You can visualize and almost smell the freshness and tang in the highly charged air in this atmospheric and dramatic pen Susan !
I have never witnessed storms like the Texan storms I saw last summer, where you had fork, sheet and radial lightning occuring at the same time, with monsoon like rain cascading down !

Mages in proto-Sumerian times were capable of manipulating thunder (http://www.aelives.com/gods.htm look under Baal). But like Bono of U2 sang some time ago already: 'You're an accident waiting to happen. You're a piece of glass left there on the beach' Mankind, through the brilliant spirit of Nikola Tesla (who detested war himself), has rediscovered the 'art' of waging weather war. Even the sensitive animals will receive no forewarning of such artificially created events. Yet these powers in the hands of arrogant and ignorant entities is dwarfed by the power of the Light.
