Quotes about cloudburst

“Storms in the forest have a more primal character than storms playing over tamed urban land. A vigorous cloudburst is exhilarating, a burst of sensory delight with its leafy smells, gray light, and chill. But a full tree-ripping storm pushes the senses beyond exhilaration or thrill, into fear.”

David G. Haskell (1950) writer, Biologist

“I was there at the birth,
Out of the cloudburst,
The head of the tempest.”

Kate Bush (1958) British recording artist; singer, songwriter, musician and record producer

Song lyrics, Hounds of Love (1985), The Ninth Wave
Context: I was there at the birth,
Out of the cloudburst,
The head of the tempest.
Murderer!
Murder of calm…
