Purple Rain

A flash of lightning tore through the midnight sky. An eerie light cast out from it, illuminating the great city of Atrevale. Rain glistened off of the helms of the guards upon the thick, efficacious walls of the city. It ran down, splashing into the torrential rapids miles beneath the bridge leading towards to gate. A vast line of people stood drenched, waiting desperately for shelter from whatever lurked in the lush fauna behind them. Suddenly, loud cracks of hooves against stone rang out at…

the weather decided to calm down. This was a vacation that will never be forgotten. My ears perk up as I notice the quieting of the rain against the window. I get up and walk over, pushing the roughly sewn curtain to the right side of the window, gazing out into the world beyond. Though it was still overcast, I ask my Dad, “Can we go down to the beach now since the rain has cleared up?” He holds one finger up, gesturing for me to wait a second, and whips out his smartphone to check the weather…

"But he was able to understand one thing: making a decision was only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision" (Coelho 70). This quote from Paul Coelho's novel The Alchemist reflects on that idea that when someone decides to take risks and persevere, they will discover so many opportunities and uncover their own character. Just like the protagonist,…

powerful and take out houses and other important things. It always seem like the weather hits at the most inconvenient times. First off, We didn't get a lick of rain all summer long. When something very important came up like beet harvest it started down pouring and literally rained 4 inches within a week. The storm was almost a constant rain and this put us behind at least 2 to 3 weeks that means the chances of the beets freezing this year and us losing them is extremely…

clouds like cirrus, cirrostratus, and middle clouds like alto stratus in front of a warm front. These clouds form in the warm air that is high above the cool air. As the front passes through a territory, the clouds progress toward becoming lower and rain is likely. There can be electrical storms (thunderstorms) around the warm front if the air is flimsy. On climate maps, the surface location of a warm front is represented by a strong red line with red, filled-in half circles along it. The half…

If you've lived in Las Vegas for any period of time, you may think that rain isn't something that you need to worry about. While Las Vegas doesn't get a large amount of rainfall each year, when it does rain it rains hard and often results in flash flooding. This year is predicted by many forecasters to be the wettest in years. While rain is always welcome in the dry desert of Las Vegas, it can mean trouble for your plumbing. This is especially true if the wet conditions cause backdrafting, an…

To create a structured story, Silpperjack used the weather to portray the time of day relevant to the story. To begin with, in Coal Oil, Crayons and Schoolbooks Silpperjack expresses the weather at the beginning of the day to have the following characteristics, “…cold, damp air.. white mist all around me.” (Slipperjack 27). When one awakes in the morning, the air does feel denser and colder. Slipperjack illustrates the weather in such to generate a morning feel because it is the beginning of…

Bahamas The trip I would like to go on is the Bahamas. It has to be a fun place to go because everyone goes there. Once you’re there you can do many things. It would be nice to see the ocean because it looks different than the one at Myrtle Beach and they say the sand there is pink so it would be a nice thing to see because I have never been to a pink sanded beach. They have many food places and tourist destinations I would like to visit. Also it would be fun to stay in a resort and the water…

affecting Texas with rain is funneling moisture our way. That means the chance for showers will be around for the entire RTO for Friday-Sunday. Friday will be cooler than Thursday for eastern zones and warmer than Thursday for western zones. Philly’s high temperature will be in the mid-70s. The best chance for rain showers will be in the morning. On Saturday, the main system from Texas will move into western zones. Eastern zones could see some afternoon thunderstorms. The rain…

Answer: It was the evening of April 14, 1865. The air was warm and the wind whispered quitely through the trees. All was calm at the theatre that night. The only sound to be heard was the quite chitter-chatter of those around me as they took their seats and discussed tonight's important guest, the President himself! Yes, it would surely be a night to remember: a great play in the same room as the President of the United States. I watched the upper balcony where the president was to be seated,…
