The storm that came in a long awaited rush.

It roared and it shouted its way from the west into the east.

Assembled by nature in a complicated fashion.

Born in the south Atlantic it came steadily on.

It claimed its lives on the uncaring alter of nature.

Giving us a reminder that nature runs the earth.

Before the use of satellites the death toll would have been much worse.

The peaceful use of technology is a blessing not a curse.

Should we blame global warming for the problems it has caused?

Why do we always have to find a place to lay the blame?

Sometimes we need to accept that life has inherent risks.

A life without risk would be dull, and that would be a shame!
