Hurricane Season

R. Hamilton

This is the season for storms in the Atlantic; Which way are they headed, and when should I panic? Waters are warm here, so the storms typically grow; The rains they are coming and the winds they will blow.

We’ve planned and geared up, so I hope we’re prepared; But my prayer is this storm fizzles and all will be spared. As the storm track is updated, my anxiety will grow; Where it comes inland, God only knows.

Storm surge and flooding are but a few things to consider; May not be a good time to rely on low bidder. Equipment to make ready and essentials to stock; Everyone will be working and forget about the clock.

Without essential services there would be no need for return; As protection of public health will be our primary concern. My family, my friends, they have long gone; As into this bunker, I am now drawn.

We’ve learned so much from storms of the past; Don’t be fooled by predictions, you’re area could still be harassed. Restoration of services are sometimes plagued by delays; But the devotion of our operators is deserving of praise.

So as water flows from that faucet or you flush that fixture; Remember it’s the result of training and dedication, an amazing mixture. Your service is appreciated as we praise your hard works; For now consider this thank you, as one of your perks.
