I was trying to imagine it. But I didn’t want to.

The horror of knowing….of realizing….what that noise is. It’s the middle of the night. You woke with a start. Your family is not there, so you are alone in the dark. There was some rain and now…..suddenly…..there’s a train of water coming at you. And you have nowhere to go. Not even time enough to pray.
