Birds have disappeared, ducks are not to be seen anywhere and the Sand hill cranes who love to come and knock on the windows and then retreat further down to the lake and jump in the air flapping their wings like they had just cracked some joke, flew into the setting Sun yesterday. A steel grey sky is hanging low spreading anticipating quiet every where.
There is no sound. Humans are inside their homes. Windows boarded, doors locked, watching news channels. Where is Matthew now? what country it hit and mutilated; turning it into a twisted and chopped corpse. Haiti, Bahamas and now Florida shores.
And oh yes, taking stock of valuables too. Bring in the plants, prepare a shelter, beware of tornadoes …. a doomsday scenario.
No cars on the roads. All the humdrum of life just wrapped up it’s show and left. Curfew in two counties.
In the Atlantic arena, Matthew is raging, raving mad. A mindless energy. Like a carpet snake, that just came to life – Blind but focused. Untangling it’s coils and ready to pounce and devour.
Sometimes in the early hours Matthew would have a landfall near the Florida coast.
