Yes, I don’t have a photo of the actual tornado that inspired this haiku. Thankfully, no one lost their life, but three houses were severely damaged. The twister briefly touched down this past Thursday, about an hour west of where we live.
Thanks for the haiku response to my haiku. Have a great weekend!
Well done, Majik! Thankfully, the twister 🌪️ in question only touched down briefly this past Thursday.
The story behind the story is the camera man was so engrossed in getting the shot, he almost stepped on a rattlesnake—hiding in the tall grass.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a pic of either the tornado or the rattler.

Avoid the tornado before you get bit by the snake behind you.
What a metaphor for this life, huh!

Yes sir! And preferably in the other direction. We have brave folks here who run toward tornadoes.
