Freeform Friday: haiku and photo: “Fun with nature”

Trees fall, power fails,
Sirens wail into the night.
Thunder laughs; man sighs.

Fallen tree

Fallen Hackberry tree, over 50 feet tall. Unfortunately, it has probably killed many blueberry bushes lying underneath the branches.

[Editor’s note: over 40,000 or the 100,000 customers served by the Knoxville Utilities Board were, at one time, without power due a powerful line of storms that passed through the area on July 5, 2012. I was without power for nearly four hours and have this downed tree to deal with.]
