A Storm Hits Kentar Island
Anchorage
I got up to watch
the day begin.
Just before
six the sun broke through the clouds.
By eight fifteen a
storm was gathering.
The sky darkened
behind Restless M.
At twenty past eight a water spout traveled through the anchorage.
We watched in fascination as the water spout began to unravel. Everything became monochrome.
Rain
threatened as the gusts began to build, the flat water began to
ripple.
The first spots of
rain.
Then it hammered down, visibility dropped like a curtain.
Gusts to thirty five knots, the fishing platform beside us began drifting by. Waves now
wiggle us.
All over.
ALL IN ALL CALM TO FURY IN
MINUTES
DRAMATIC AND TYPICAL FOR THE EQUATOR
