Florence Redux



Some things don't remain the way they first appear.
Signature moves can later disappear.
So it is with Florence whose fearsome winds filled us with dread as it grew near
Today they say it's rain, and rising water, not wind that we must fear
And so it goes with Florence redux
Whose rising waters make peoples' homes more suitable for ducks.

Florence is Flying

The NHC
can often be
alarmist in some ways.

It sounds the alarm,
saying it'll do no harm
to awaken where it lays--

the hurricane emergency plan
and cause most every woman and man
to pack up and flee the storm's windy ways.

Only thing is Florence is being fickle
And into the air you might flip a nickel
Choosing heads or tails to plan your days

Even Florence knows not where she's going these days..
