January storm 2013

Mother Nature is in charge
She has stamped her foot
And spoken out loud
We cower in fear of her rage

Cloud scud along
Rain sweeps the bay
Winds thunder along
triple digits last night

Although the worst
is now past
I can still see
more fury

As angry squalls
race through
east
from the ocean

The boats
scurried for cover
We are an island
once more

Mother Nature is in charge
"Who do you think you are?
I can stop you all
and I will"

But for all that
We have been spared
the agony of '05
When five did not return
