The Power of Wind and Water

This morning I woke up feeling good, so I showered, dressed and ate breakfast. I then went for a walk on the beach and behold I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw all the destruction and horror the power of wind and water brought. I couldn’t believe what I was looking at. For as far as I could see, there was seaweed on the beach, on all kinds of trees, on boats, and on broken pieces of wood.

I also saw all kinds of trees everywhere. Branches floated on top of the water and broken trees lay on the beach and up on the banking. The leaves were stripped off the trees. Brushes were pulled right out of the ground. There were twigs everywhere.

I also saw all kinds of fish washed up on the beach and on top of the water. It was like a whirlwind went though the ocean and the sea life got thrown everywhere, and a lot of sea life died in the process. There were boats everywhere all broken up. Including big cabin cruisers. Stuff from inside the boats was everywhere. What a mess!

There were a lot of people on the beach. There also were a lot of dead people that didn’t make it. That was horrible to see. It was amazing how everybody was working together to help one another.

All of this was hard to digest. The sun was shining so bright liked all of this couldn’t have happened. But one thing we all need to remember is mankind cannot control the weather. When Mother Natural flares up, just stay clear of her path if you can.
