The sky had turned a greenish grey
Rain poured down sideways
Driven by the howling winds
As the lightening flashed all around
Thunder added to the incessant din
The summer storm was full force
As the hail began to bounce on the pavement
Trees cracked as branches fell
Sparks flew as power lines snapped
And my fear began to rise
I paced
I held a flashlight
I turned up the radio for news
Then just when I thought I would explode in fear
**
I realized the hail had stopped
The rain was lighter
The winds had diministed
And the thunder distant
**
The storm was over
And I stepped outside
To look for the rainbow

A very well written scene Leigha. Felt like I was there.
Glad you liked it.
