The message left
Announced severe storms
starting at 4:30pm
Not a note of conciliation
Nor an envelop of grace
Just storms
Sweeping
Driving
Flooding the one way street
Take shelter indoors
For tornadoes are possible
But the rain was
A certainty
As well as the storms
And the driving home
With blinding sheets
Of rain
Sweeping
Flooding
The one way street.
