Extreme Weather: A Warning

This week a Colossus,

a monster of mythic proportion,

stretched from west Texas to the central plains and beyond,

coating vast landscapes in crippling ice

and spawning tornadoes in Alabama.

The pink on the weather maps moved

like a bullet train up the eastern coastline

morphing into a nor’easter through Boston and on into New England.

A two-thousand, mile-long path of destruction.

A behemoth of misery.

Another entry in the Chronicle of Extreme Weather:

Storms.

Forest fires.

Floods.

Tornadoes.

Hurricanes.

Cassandra warned the Trojans about complacency.

Greta Thunberg chastises and challenges us

to act on Climate Change boldly.

Now.

A clear warning.
