Forget this soft, gentle stuff. Think of a hurricane or typhoon. It drives the sea before it. Huge breakers sweep up on beaches and wash away anything within 100 yards of the shore. The wind is a howling.
Rain falls horizontally rather than vertically.
Cars are flipped over. Roofs are plucked off of structures with the same ease we pick pepperoni from our pizzas. Or think of a tornado. Houses are lifted from their foundations and set crashing down a mile away. A stalk of straw is thrown against a tree with such force that it is driven into it 9 or 10 inches.
