Tropical storms are just below hurricanes in intensity. They breed tornadoes, high winds rain and flooding. All one can do is batten down and .... Wait.
All defences up
Gnawing feeling
You could do more
Reports trickle in
Reconnaissance
Conflicting data
No predictability
History no solas
Waiting
For it to show its teeth
On someone else
To measure its ferocity
Against a familiar scale
Waiting
Screenshots show
It's hypnotic shape
Riot of primary colours
A tease to its temper
A gargantuan top
Spinning mindlessly
All bluff and bluster
Or raging killer
Waiting
Devastation its stock in trade
