STORIES FROM THE STORM - The Stories

 

Tomorrow's Plan
by J Waddell

Been savaged
By flood damage
For this we weren't prepared
Fallen trees
Among the debris
Tomorrow's plan's up in the air

A chance seized
By some thieves
To loot businesses without a care
Cars abandoned
A ship stranded
Tomorrow's plan's up in the air

The state leader
And sightseers
Checkin' out here and there
Non-stop reporters
Folks out of water
Tomorrow's plan's up in the air

Been no power
For some hours
A man's in a drain somewhere
Evacuations
In some locations
Tomorrow's plan's up in the air

The clean-up's started
How kindhearted
The P.M.'s got cash to spare
As for tomorrow
More news to follow
May not be goin' anywhere
