As the roar of the Sulphur tornado got louder, the ambient light darker, rain wrapping thicker around the circulation’s hook, the vortex’s shifting neither left nor right was a sure sign of its direct approach, and of our need to evacuate this position with some time to spare before it closely approached the highway. An idyllic rural dream scene of wildflowers, spring-green grass and trees, fishing pond, and country home soon would be rendered nightmarish by the atmospheric monster marching unstoppable and ever closer.
