A Storm in the Mountains

As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn does in this prose poem, write about a time you witnessed a powerful natural event, such as a thunderstorm, a flood, an earthquake, an ice storm, or a tornado. How did it make you feel? Were you frightened, curious, excited, awed, or thrilled? Use imagery and figurative language, such as metaphor and simile and hyperbole, to make your readers experience the event as you did.
