More severe than the 1998 ice storm
the floods of 2017 and 19
more than the tornado of 2018
in its narrow destructive path

This latest monster
widespread across the region
100-year-old trees
match sticks snapped
power lines, poles and towers...
grid knocked off line
for some, who knows how long?

Mother Nature’s new normal rears
its violent ugly head once more
10 people got up this morning
never to make it back to bed
