Gale force
winds rampaging wilfully in a consciously
exercised and
malevolent spree, and as a result of
this
contemptible and maliciously encouraged
duress and deleterious
jamboree giving rise
most condescendingly
and aggressively
to boisterously
wind-lashed seas that
quite eagerly, extraordinarily
and
unavoidably in
these distinctly
orchestrated
and manifestly
conspiratorial
circumstances, unwaveringly,
viciously,
calculatedly and destructively
resort to co-operatively
assist in the
projected and
copious spawning of
a range of
enormous waves and
exceptionally
treacherous sea
currents, reinforced
in turn
by lashing rain
that was
complementary
to the
speedy
incursion of
an impending
and
plainly ominous
inland flooding.
An added
disaster in waiting that promptly
and markedly
inescapably would to the
intensive and
deliberately generated
atmosphere of
the intentionally
created and
cold-bloodedly
planned civic
confusion
that jointly
encompass
merely a
fractional part, but all the same, a
conclusively acknowledged
realization
of the overall adverse
environment
and the frighteningly
disturbing
encounter wearily
denounced
as but likewise
officially
also
categorized as a
tropical
hurricane.
An incident at
whose particular mercy those who’re either
specifically
designated as or else are more likely to be
the random and
hapless victims of this callous and
presumably premeditated
heinousness are left
defencelessly
completely beholding to, no
matter how
judiciously or else rationally
prepared they
were for its eventual
coming and
ultimate eventuality.
For equally and
inescapably
caught up in
this natural
and predatory
beast’s
relentless
stalking even though unsurprisingly,
and therefore
expectantly, everyone knew
well in advance
that it was coming, the
onerous
responsibility entrusted to
national governments
and their
respective
civic authorities
despite man’s
amazing
scientific inventions
or early
warning
and advanced
developed
systems.
Nor, come to
that, his conscientiously and often
employed
forewarning communications. For
notwithstanding
their usually proclaimed
usefulness they’re
basically still utterly
powerless in usefully
harnessing for
the general good
of all affected or
otherwise disposed
to be troubled community
or country, the
unleashed energy of every
looming or
devastating hurricane that’s
waylaying their
vicinity, far less so
acquire the requisite
capability
to ever permanently
banish
the unceasing
occurrence
of tropical
hurricanes.

Author’s Remarks:
Hurricanes are
predictable; can be destructive even to the point of being devastatingly so,
and generally unavoidable in their occurrences. They are also atmospheric
events that do feature periodically and with varying levels of intensity in the
lives of most Caribbean people.
But all the
same, these tropical hurricanes can at the same time, either with or without
their awesome display of raw, remarkable and unbridled power, be a truly
spectacular as well as a most strikingly majestic demonstration of the
discernibly tremendous influence which these impressive stalwarts and agents of
nature have, not only on our environment but significantly mankind as well.
And although
their presence can at times be rather deadly and likewise traumatically heart-breaking
for some, a world completely devoid of all hurricanes would, in my opinion –
and I’ve personally witnessed several of them first-hand and upfront as they
say in the Caribbean – be an awful diminution of Nature’s well balanced
choreography of challenging catastrophes set against, as well as in the process
highlighting, its many extraordinary environmental blessings.
