The wind roared fiercer than a lion’s breath

Trees gave up branches as sacrificial offerings

Buildings stood firm in bold defiance 

Battered by the artillery fire of flying debris 

The angry raging sea of the skies ran amok

Flipping over vehicles like jettisoned toys

Once manicured lands became a bloody battlefield

Nature had declared war on a defenseless foe

Wherever you are today, take a few moments to ponder why still air molecules can taste so sweet yet, when nature commands, they will obediently run around looking for trouble like a gang of marauding hooligans. Technology has transformed our daily lives but we have no control over the weather.
