Bad weather had a habit of sneaking up on us. We think the storm will tire itself out before it gets to us, it won’t be as strong as the weatherman says, that it happens somewhere else. As I’m sure many are realizing, bad weather is everywhere. I certainly didn’t have wildfires in Canada or Maui, hurricanes in California, or strong winds (but not tornadoes) in Oklahoma on my bingo card. While visiting family in OK, we got a taste of it. I’d experienced tornadoes before, but never straight line winds that tore hundred-year-old trees from the ground and disrupted electricity for weeks. The Cicada’s Cry journal must have resonated with the idea of surprising bad weather when they accepted this piece in their summer issue.

That is quite a visual. Which do you dread more.
