Words that come unbidden to mind include paranormal . ..supernatural . . .
ridiculous . . .
The first instance I observed while following a national weather forecaster's analysis of storm progress . . .
“. . . moving along I-35 . . ” he intoned.
I have traveled I-35 — from Laredo to DFW. But I was impelled to call up a map, to compare that stretch of asphalt and concrete to the aforementioned weather pattern.
“Mere coincidence” I muttered.
Then on another day there was the string of dangerous weather that seemed to be travel along I-10 as it wandered west to east across Texas.
“Strange” I thought. “Almost as if it consciously followed the highway.”
And now . . .
“I understand thee not, and yet I see thee still. . . art thou but
an image of the mind, a false creation,
Proceeding from the storm-oppressed brain.?”
For as I gaze at the weather channel screen I see an array of Texas counties that are under a weather alert . . . and marked by brilliant coloration . . . in a line, west to east . . . and lying along Highway 59 . . . .
Merely hallucinatory, or perhaps supernatural?
“. . . and yet I see thee still. . . “
