Michael Slams Into Florida

Michael may be the archangel blowing his heavenly horn

But not in Florida where he is becoming an almost Cat 5 born

Trees felled tiles from roofs shorn

Houses damaged power lines from transistors torn

Rain pouring down, storm surge coming in

Against an almost Cat 5 humans almost always humans lose never win

Know not whether Michael is the result of climate change

Only that the winds and surge will derange

Thank God for the cold currents off the California coasts

We may be ticking time bombs for earthquakes but for hurricanes nowhere near toast
