Thank you for this indeed. I think it's strata, now there is Irma and the Atlanta/Caribbean/Florida; I fear this more. In 1972 Hurricane Agnes brought misery to my hometown/parents, I was in Halifax at the time. The Susquehanna rose from 1 meter to more than 13 meters overnight; Wyoming Valley in PA. was flooded, to great depths, houses and businesses in parts completely submerged. In Houston at least unlike Rockport, it seems a question of 1st floor flooding, there's something left maybe to build on? Florida is frightening, we were there after Andrew and saw the results of Andrew's devastation, far worse w/ the winds, and now this. But the strata is always there; Wyoming V. has been hit with 90 floods since 1780 or so - and people keep rebuilding in the same spot. Stay warm and safe in Frankfurt (where my father's family is from btw) and stay in touch and thank you for your reply!

thank you for striking images, sounds and the writing. out of sky a lot of things have fallen it seems, i cannot articulate fear except fear for (the people in Houston and my friends who stood in the water or looked up to the storm), and then I pondererd, last week in Frankfurt, what I would have done back home in Houston, stayed put, evacuated, crawled through a hole I'd make onto the roof as the water rises? I was at the museum in Frankfurt to see "Kinetic Painting" https://youtu.be/bsI_KDii8po http://mmk-frankfurt.de/de/nc/ausstellungen/ausstellung-details/article/carolee_schneemann_kinetische_malerei/ a breathtaking retrospecticve of Carolee Schneemann's work; but then I met up with a friend who lives there and she calmy tells me that 65 000 people would be evacuated on Sunday, as a heavy World War II british bomb HC 4000 has been found during construction work in the west end. This reminded me that Gordana Novakovic, last spring, told me the same, her Kilburn district in London had to be evacuated, when they found a World War II german bomb there. that war ended more than 70 years ago, and so I read Alan's poem in this light, everything is there; it has not ended in fact.
