An incident when I was caught in a storm Big cauliflower clouds were boiling up and hovering above me. Thunder boomed in the distance. I looked up and realized something was wildly wrong . There was an earsplitting crack, and the air filled with screams. Some of my own. It was bizarre as I heard that it was supposed to be a sunny day.
Then it started, the raindrops touched my face-it was cold and brought an eerie feeling. Then it exploded on me in a chaos of wind, water and noise. I was drenched with icy cold raindrops. I searched high and low, finally I found somewhere where I can shelter myself from the pouring rain.
I counted the lighting strikes to distract my mind from the cold, pain and terror. My body bent by the shelter into an agonizing, painful position, I waited in the darkness wondering how much longer will this storm take to ease.
