SEVERE WEATHER ALERT

This is an official weather advisory.

Attention residents within the affected area.

Conditions are changing faster than anticipated.

Earlier models predicted light rainfall.

Minor disruptions.

A brief inconvenience before clearing.

Those projections are no longer accurate.

Wind speeds are increasing.

Pressure systems are colliding.

Visibility will be reduced.

You may feel disoriented even indoors.

Secure loose items.

Close windows.

Remain calm.

These instructions are standard and may offer limited protection.

Please note: the storm is not confined to the horizon.

Reports indicate impact without visible clouds.

Thunder has been heard without lightning.

This phenomenon is under investigation.

You may ask why warnings were delayed.

Data suggests the storm began quietly.

Initial signs were dismissed as seasonal variation.

Comfort led to complacency.

If you feel unprepared, this response is common.

If you feel angry, this response is understandable.

If you insist storms like this have passed before,

please be advised: this system does not behave like previous ones.

Flooding is expected in low places.

Structures built on weak foundations are at increased risk.

Standing water may appear shallow and prove otherwise.

Evacuation routes remain open.

They are narrow.

They are unfamiliar.

They do not follow the paths you normally take.

Shelter locations are limited.

Not all buildings are rated to withstand the storm.

Some walls will fail.

Some roofs will not hold.

One shelter has remained intact through every recorded event.

It does not resist the storm by force.

It remains standing by invitation.

Those inside report quiet.

Not absence of wind,

but absence of fear.

Authorities anticipate disbelief.

Some will choose to ride out the storm alone.

This is not advised.

This alert cannot compel trust.

It can only clarify risk.

For those wondering why the forecast speaks of foundations,

why it sounds less like weather and more like warning,

be informed:

The storm answers to a voice.

The wind recognizes it.

The waves obey it.

His name is Jesus.
