We heard...
but too late. It hit.
Winds ferocious, waves monstrous,
tools of the devil
sped to slumbering shores
and a land lulled illusively.

We saw...
as never before. The horror.
Tearing, toppling, twisting,
bending, beating, blowing,
all that stood in the way.
Feasting off flesh and blood.

We felt...
'Ice and ember.' Highly emotive.
Shock, pity, fury, empathy,
a thunder of hue and cry.
Head and heart clamouring,
moaning for the dead and half-dead.

We did...
at utmost level. What's possible.
Morale and moral drove us
to face odds, remove barriers,
hope and help to hook up.
Truly, a colossal test of
storm and spirit.
