this morning #2303.

this morning, a vicious storm had begun to form off in the distance. i sipped at my coffee & watched from our front porch as the sky far off went from ash to black & a bolt of lightning cracked down to the earth. man. nature is amazing. “hey, hon. come check this out.” “oh wow. that IS pretty insane.” she joined me on the porch & we debated whether or not it was safe to stay where we were. i was on team evacuate sooner rather than later but she thought we should wait & see. maybe it won’t even come this way. “i wouldn’t even worry about it, babe. that’s a big one for sure though.” with that, she headed back indoors. as if on cue, the wind picked up. scattered leaves swirled in the air between our porch & the storm. a remote rumble wasn’t far behind. i knew i was right.
