Love these. I understand the impulse of the writer on the Stop sign. I still have urges to write in collected snow, dust, etc. I must be a child at heart.

Lol. I lived in wicked stawm country, aka Maine, back in the 1980s. One wicked stawm came close to blowing me away.
Now I live in New Mexico. About ten years ago, after a long dry spell, we had a storm with hail that was larger than baseballs. It destroyed our roof, our car, our RV, and the roof of most of the buildings in town. The United Methodist church put this on their sign:
OH HAIL NO!
Send Us Just
The Rain Please!

I’ve never seen hail that large. (I hope I never do!) Local roofers must have made out like bandits after that one.

I hope I never see hail like that again!
Storm chaser Reed Timmer was driving through the area where we lived when the storm hit. The windshield on their vehicle was broken by the hail, when they were about 1/4 mile from where we were living at the time. I will post the link to that wild storm, but you may want to watch it with the sound off. The female driving Reed’s vehicle did a lot of squealing and screaming. 😀
