A Little Drabble Do Ya: Hurricane

[alynwa.livejournal.com]

Illya and Napoleon stood looking out Mr. Waverly’s window at the pouring rain and heavy winds that was Hurricane Donna.  The weather was ferocious; even THRUSH seemed to have hunkered down for the storm.  The agents were sharing a room in HQ for the duration.

“This is something America has that the USSR does not envy.”

Napoleon nodded, “Fortunately, they don’t happen often.  HQ’s metal walls are wind and waterproof, so all our technology is safe as is the staff.”

“If you gentlemen are finished storm watching, some of us have actual work to do.”

“We were just leaving, Sir.”

Daydreaming anyone?

Rain will make you do that.

Nice. I also couldn't help thinking what would Illya and Napoleon be doing?

How did you fare?

I was very fortunate; never lost power, no floods or fires close to me. It really didn't rain much in NYC, but the wind was really really scary. I'm on the 11th floor so it was probably hitting my windows at 90 and 100 mph.

Thanks for asking!

I remember Hurricane Donna. I was seven years old, and had to walk home from school during the hurricane because my Mom forgot to come and pick me up. The teachers hadn't realized I was still at school, and went home.

It was only six blocks from the school to my house but it was an amazing journey. I remember the snapping, sizzling power lines, and the power of the wind. The sound was enormous. For whatever reason, I wasn't afraid--probably childlike innocence of the danger.On the contrary, I found the experience exhilarating. The memory remains vivid, fifty years later.

I remember being on my bike and Donna pushing me down the street. Oh, to be young and immortal (or think you are)!

Art imitating life makes for good art. Nice reflection on the storm.
