Nice short piece. Is this a haiku, usually I would remove the word "the" from the last line. "The" grief sounds wrong to me. Butt hen I don't wish to interfere with the laws of that technique.

It appears that this storm is not going to be quite as damaging as was believed, but still pretty bad. A timely Haiku.......stan
