storm

Monday February 10, 2020

.......and there is a sudden gust, the car jumps to the side, correct the steering. There is a storm, a shower of acorns passing an oaktree rattle on the windscreen.

There are nervous drivers under way today, they do not know storms well here, slow down for the gusty wind.

About to pass under a bridge, a cloud of grit and small stones showers down. They had been used to provide grip on the overpass, so that cars would not slip, the overpass frozen last week. Now the grit comes down onto the Autobahn, peppering the passing cars

A fully loaded truck passes, the plates say that it is from Romania. It is going far more than the speed limit, the driver may not be feeling the wind so much because of the weight of his vehicle. He overtakes; he is dangerous, hileviathan will take a long time and a great distance to stop.

The truck ahead, the one overtaken is shaken by the wind, shaking and braking, the red tail lights aglow after every gust.

The moon shows through the clouds on the right, the sunlight yellow from the left, the sky is black.

A rainbow, bright and persistent
