# 3


The first few moments before a storm are very tranquil. You see the clouds towering overhead, you can just smell the mist and specific smell before it hits. Then BOOM! Hear the thunder bellowing across the land. Then the pitter patter of the droplets of water falling from the sky on to your window as you gaze out of it thinking of the wonder it holds. There is something calming about a storm. The beauty of it all is when it is still sunny, but raining at the same time. Its like bright sparkles falling from the sky, creating a harmonizing surrounding. Though there may be peace involved with a storm, there can also be chaos. Riveting winds, and deadly lighting can strike at any moment leaving the watcher in total terror. Then a destructive tornado may also hit causing devastating damage to all in its path. A storm has many qualities. It can be dark and ominous. Or it can be calm and beautiful. A storm can be either, but the peace and serenity is what i would much rather prefer.

I loved how you described how both sides of storms. The calm side and how they can be beautiful, and also the danger side. one thing that you could work on is describing taste and smell a little more. I Realize that its hard to describe the taste of a storm, but give it a shot.

Your descriptions paint a vivid picture, in my mind, and I enjoyed it. But I felt like it zig-zag back and forth between decriptions. It didn't flow. Try to connect your descriptions with each other
