... 'Back UP!!!!' ....

Poem Artwork

... my heart races along with
the clouds, beating as fast as
the wind rocking the vehicles.
Adrenaline sizzles nerves like
lightning; tension thunders as
loudly as Reed is screaming,

"Back UP!!!!"  The finale of
Storm Chasers on Discovery:
way too intense.  Couldn't do
it.  Why I watch on TV and
chase off the front porch:  it's
safer and close to shelter.  =]

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (12/8)

Porch life, a cooler with Coors and a dog for company and to tell when an uninvited one are coming too near.
Chasing storms? no need, they are chasing after me! ! !

Makes good sense to me, like watching the pros like Jimmie Johnson run their NASCARs full out instead of speeding myself. lol

Hello Karla,

Yes- this is so true! Storms get nastier the closer they come in.
The sounds of fury and the rage of winds are enough to back up any chaser. Great intensity here.(Whew!)

Karla,
There's no substitute for the real first-hand experience, everything else is received and milder, but having said that I have to agree with Jon W that discretion matters, too. I enjoyed this point of view very much and the fine expression.

Absolutely adorable! Yup, better to chase from a safety zone than to be in the thick of it........

Be always safe,

Very enjoyable and storm filled write, you really are the Storm Chaser of the Den.

I was sorry to hear of the passing of your Daddy, God Bless You and Karen ! Your Daddy is safely in Our Father's Mansion.

Hold fast to the faith

Karla, I like the way you spin your storms from the front porch.
Me, I run the other way. Trouble is, sometimes they change direction
and come at you head on, as happened too many times trying to escape those Pacific typhoons in WW2. -gene.
