A Storm to Remember

October 4, 2008
By Anonymous

The winds blow,
I see debris fly past the window,
All of us are huddled in the middle room.
No power,
No water,
Darkness,
A flash of light brightens the sky,
The crack of a whip fills our ears.
Then silence,
Has the storm past?
Only for a few relieving seconds.
Then we would be back inside,
For the rest of th storm to pass.
I hear another deafening crack,
The eye has passed...
...but the worst has yet to come.

This poem is about hurricane Ike and that it was my first real experience with a hurricane. This is basically what went through my mind during the storm.
