Riding the Tornado
Early morning slumberÂ
shattered by siren's blare
Warning song false alarm
played out so often
we no longer cared
Rain drops dancing
on the window pane
can be so soothing
Winds pick up
Thunder rolls in
on the back of a locomotive
without tracks
Our complacency is shattered
by the whirlwinds sneak attack
All that we've known
Everything we owned
now belongs to the
cyclone blender
Panic and fear
does deposit
extreme perspective
when survival priority
blows in
We somehow survived
and made it out alive
Shock always dissipates
Pick up the pieces
Rebuild our house of glass
Embrace the generosity
of charitable humanity Â
Count your blessings
while praying for those trapped
inside the eye of the storm
That they too find their way out

I can relate to this Steve.  About four days ago, I was on the computer (late at night), window open and tornado sirens going off left and right.  I thought of heading to the basement (after several minutes), but figured "Naaaah".  Ended up, a tornado touched down about five miles away.  Flattened a few houses.
Made me really think about how complacent I've become when I hear those sirens go off.
Nice write
