A Snowbird in Paradise

There! In the West. Dark thunderclouds punctuated with streaks of lightening. 

You go outside and look in all directions. 

Clouds to the North are white and towering, beginning to flatten threatening the coast beneath them. To the South are more black clouds and the thunder is louder. 

 East over the ocean the clouds are scattered, but high with thready wisps skimming over them.

So you bring in the chaise cushions, check for stray cups and glasses, unplug the computers, and wait.

It passed you by! 

The Mockingbird is laughing at you, Silly "Snowbird". 

That is Florida in October!
