Woweee! I was scared for you! You portrayed the power of the storm and its danger with descriptive intensity, while also imparting good advice.
Your writing is delightfully regional with its sayings such as 'sweating like a stuck pig being readied for a bar-b-que'.

Comment from C. Gale Burnett
You had my heart racing as I read through your story. The imagery was awesome. I loved each and every detail you included for it made the story come alive. Whether this story is fact or fiction, it makes no matter. I live in the foothills of the Blue Ridge in Virginia and have experienced gully washers similar to this that have made me cringe.
Great job!

One thing I've never experienced, possibly because I'm an infrequent visitor to the mountains, at least when it's raining, although I have experienced fog. Thanks for this nicely written post my friend, this is marvellously exciting occurrence, thanks for the tips, beautifully written, blessings Roy

Well done
Comment from dellsworthpoet
A vivid description. The images are clear. The metaphors are not trite. The piece flows well. These type of storms hit AZ also. In our monsoons blinding rains fall for usually short periods. Dry low land and streams fill quickly. The tension in this piece is palpable.

Thanks for a good read.

This is a fantastic story. One with great details. You have a way to invite people into your story. I felt as if I were running for shelter. Thank you for the great awareness. The dangers lurk all around. People must heed the warning. Thank you for sharing.
