Prairie Spring Storm

 

Photo taken July 2008 

In the city, clouds gathered silently until angry thunder knuckled our heads, slashed rain viciously on ant-like traffic plowing through sudden rivers and lakes. Lightening flickered ominously through the storm salted with pebbles of ice that rattled car roofs and beat on windshields. Storm clouds hovered overnight, brief rolls of thunder hinted that the spring storm was relocating to drench someone else, somewhere else. 


Today, the sun glistened on our world.


“Thunder rattled the window panes two stories high and lightning split 

the sky; it was as if the whole world was in turmoil that night.”

~ Sara Niles, Torn From the Inside Out
