==How It Begins==
What a godawful storm this is. Lightning cracks in blue-white webby streaks every few seconds, followed by ear-splitting KA-THOOOMS of thunder. So much for the "Clear skies and sunshine through the weekend!" weather report of the noonday broadcast. You remind yourself to kick that soapy-headed pretty boy meteorologist in the ass when you get to the studio... yawp! The wind is shoving your car off the road. Man, this sucks balls.

''KA-KI-KA-KAR-BALOOOM!''

Cripes, that one was close. Did a cow just explode?

==Trivia and Comments==
* Inspired by [[Speed-IF U]] by [[Admiral Jota]] and some ideas developed for [[BreadComp]].
