Tornados in Bridgeport, not here

The day was hot for most,
but just fine for me.
The sun was bright, but on the horizon,
to the south and west,
i saw the storm.
People scurried about,
One fretted that graduation would be rained out.
The clouds, they were dark and angry .
They passed swiftly through the sky,
 changing the bright sunny day to darkness in a moment,
but they were but a moment here
and no rain fell.
The sun shown its face again
and cooler breezes came.
To the east, many miles away,
those clouds hit,
with a tornado.

Beautiful poem. Yes, it is amazing how the same clouds can pass through one area with calmness, and then storm through another. I am new to your blog.
Look forward to reading more.

Weather is really unpredictable, sometimes the sun is scorching then suddenly thunderstorm comes. Sometimes they come at the same time. Anyway I hope you're well and take care.
