7.18.2012 ALERT!

Isolated severe thunderstorms!

The sky is disquietingly dark before a flash of lightning triggers my silent counting. I inwardly recite the scientific prayer that calculates how far away the danger is. Pounding rain requires attention, creates tension. As the storm peaks, I reevaluate my safety. For those brief seconds, on a hot summer afternoon, I am pushed in contact with my mortality. Then, just as quickly, the rain ebbs and the storm passes.
