The rumbling of thunder echoed through the house, shaking the very foundation as lightning danced across the sky outside. Rain poured down in sheets, creating a cacophony of noise that drowned out any other sound.
The power flickered, then went out completely, leaving the occupants in darkness. The sudden contrast from the bright flashes of lightning to complete blackness was disorienting. Fear crept in as the wind howled outside, rattling windows and causing branches to scrape against the side of the house.
Water began to seep in through cracks in the ceiling, dripping onto the furniture below. The air grew heavy with the scent of ozone and dampness. Each strike of lightning illuminated the chaos within the room, casting eerie shadows on the walls.
Despite the looming danger, a sense of awe filled the room. The raw power and force of nature on full display left everyone feeling small in comparison. And yet, there was a strange beauty in the storm that captivated those trapped inside the house. The thunderstorm raged on, a tempest of both fear and wonder.
