As the Arizona sunshine bore down on the cracked highway blacktop, car and truck tires sizzled in whiney protest of the weight they bore at speed.

Naked Fury
God's fury has passed, as the last sudden light flashes, and the flooding rain begins to slow, while the forceful winds move away to meet the dawn.

My Branch, My Piece of Heaven
