Anything that would lay such waste would have to be pretty self-centered to begin with, but by the time the media got through with this one, it was an official Diva. It became impossible to have a conversation without mentioning this storm. Other storms that followed were immediately compared to it.

Some storms would have been satisfied with wind damage. Most would have left it at the flooding. You could tell how cocky this one was, though, when it went for the lightning kills. It broke every weather record on the books, including "Most Dessication"--in some areas the winds that came in after the rain took every bit of moisture with them so that even the dead pigs uprooted by the floods didn't decay, but merely turned to dust.

It was so satisfied with itself that it began thinking of itself as a sign of the Apocalypse. Heck, it started thinking about itself as ALL of the signs of the Apocalypse. And the more it thought about it, the more it came close to being a self-fulfilling prophecy. It learned to rain down burning hail, and sweep clouds of locusts from the desert into heavily populated areas. The frogs protested, but really they were no match for the storm. Their only revenge was that by the time they were hurled back to the ground, they were no longer a shower of *living* frogs.

Yes, this storm may not have been perfect, but by god they'll be remembering it forever...if it leaves anyone around to do so.
