Grim weather workday
Co-workers tower and storm
Frustration wind gusts
Colleague’s deep weeping deluge
Workwear, my only shelter
Hi-tech coveralls
Cold tin pressed over concrete
Full-body shielding
Spikes guarding critical zones
Early threat sensor system

--Tricky meeting one---
Sensors detect unstable air
Towering cumulus,
imposing updraft,
condensing vapour,
supercooled drops,
colliding particles,
electric charge,
energy below 100 Hertz,
below 20 - infrasonic range,
cloudburst impacts,
downdraft wedge,
gusts at 90 km/h,
winds slowing,
anvil passing,
dissipating feeder air
-Coffee break-
Systems check
Minor damage
Vibrations neutralised
Commence shield repair
-Tricky meeting two-
Scans register earlier storm damage
Key infrastructure stressed,
dam failure,
imminent water surge,
significant hydrologic activity,
evacuate downstream,
clay soil,
infiltration below 2 mm/h,
gage data above action stage,
avoid low spots, streams, and rivers,
sandbags in place,
wall seals holding,
precipitation easing,
infiltration nominal,
subsiding flood water
-Coffee break-
Systems overload
Unable to assess damage
Full reboot required
Commence systems reset

Home brings fine sunshine
Joy-filled fluffy puppy front
Gentle joy breezes
Clear skies, household index high
Soft clothes, it’s cuddle weather
