She struck with a fervor, like a derailed train

Took with her, everything, all she could claim

Lashed out at those, for staying behind

Wondering if they had all lost their mind

Warnings aplenty, where this girl would land

Seems she had it quite carefully planned

Landfall would only cause her to stall

So she stayed upon water, embracing the wall

Of funnel spouts spewing, and wind shears galore

Something so ominous, what was in store?!

Slowly she churned, growing closer and then

Slamming into the mainland, again and again

Unleashing her peril, with all of her might

Keeping everyone fearful, throughout most the night

Until all was calm, not a sound could be heard

Caught in the eye of the storm, where chaos is stirred
