Thunderstorm
Dark clouds are brewing Winds at high speeds now howling Thunderstorms to engage. (One last haiku for tonight. I think they are getting a little better, I hope. My inspiration for this one was I was hearing thunder outside as well as the dark, gray clouds and sky. Please comment if you want to.)
