Storms #SOL17

According to the meteorologists, we are in the path of spring storms tonight.  They are putting out warnings and telling everyone to stay tuned for the latest update.  The color coded map makes it very easy to know what time the atmosphere should change and to be prepared to take cover.

How would our lives be different if we knew storms were coming?

I wonder if it would be better or more daunting to know that a strong wind of change and possibility of complete destruction was about to hit you and/or your family.

I think back over my friends and family who have endured raging storms, many of them survived on their knees.  Would they have wanted to know what was coming?  Would knowing have changed their last moments before the first drop fell?

Storms are something we all endure.  Sometimes we get the refreshing rain that rebuilds our strengths and focuses us on the right path.  Other times, the storm is so devastating that we can't get up, and the world as we knew it will never be the same.
