There are trees crashing down on the roads
and my brothers is silently praying because he is 12
and I told him it's a tornado
I can't get through to my mum on her phone
to tell her not to drive home
because she's lost her glasses and can't see anything
I keep hearing her voicemail

My heart is thudding
My brother is praying
and I can't get through to my mother
while the wind howls outside
and the car alarms sound off
