Sandy Unprecedented

The East Coast was in for a fight; It'd be an unforgettable night. A monstrous storm too much to bear, Sandy rained-down terror and fear. Twelve cities—far and wide. Raging winds, nowhere to hide. Nature's fury was unleashed— Pounding ocean, land and beach. The rivers their boundaries lept As the monstrous storm swept— By the power of its wrath— Everything within its path. Her aim, nothing could deter. Structures fell down before her. Rampant fires did wildly rage— Bucking, as if from a cage. Everywhere death and destruction Obliterated fore-construction. Over one hundred lives were lost— Many paid the utmost cost. To second-guess some did dare, And were trumped by her stare. But Sandy did not go away; Clearly she had come to stay. Her voice roared here and there. Her presence was felt everywhere. Sand was such a wicked queen— The largest storm we'd ever seen.
