Driving down the highway
The day’s travels already long
Clouds growing darker
Suddenly the downpour
Impairs my vision
A notification on my phone
Tornado warning
Panic in my chest
Uncertain what to do
Trying to keep a level head
Pulling off at the next exit
Hurrying into the gas station
Sky water soaking through
Others taking shelter as well
Anxiety subsiding
Rain letting up
Sunshine peeking through clouds
Making our way back to the car
The remainder of our journey
Still ahead of us
