The Calm Before the Storm
Our day goes on like any other day - with one change on our minds. DO we have enough drinking water, food, are the houses ready, am I forgetting something? As the next storm is out at sea, not so far away (well actually three storms) and phone calls of concern and emergency preparation are occurring.
The difference today is the ...quietness...I hear nothing outside other than a few tweeting birds....
Where are all the noises we usually hear??? Cars, horns, children, bells, people working...nothing... just a quiet eeriness...
My family and I have been through one tornado in Nebraska...it was similar to this...all quiet, pretty still ....then the sky turned green and things were chaotic - and then the stillness came back.
What is it about how calm everything is before a storm????
Is it meant to be a natural preparation to "alert us"? I will go with that...because it certainly is not a way to make you feel calm!! HECK NO!
Though calm everywhere else...the "calmness" outside is un-nerving!!
