A wave of deep gray collides with bright, lively, blue a heavy mattress of rain flattens soaked grass and hair alike the shrieks filling the air are stunned into silence replaced by the colossal angry yelling the thundering voice of the clouds people run for cover as a spear of crackling energy arcs down from above a tree comes down with a sickening crash its trunk reduced to splinters it takes down two of its kind in the fall launching panicked squirrels into the chaos of the streets a deafening silence heard for miles as dim spotlights loosen the knotted clouds illuminating the welcome world

Great detail and imagery. This poem also uses great figurative language to describe lightning.
