Donna, the killer hurricane,
has come and gone, but her fury
left an indelible print on the
minds of the people of Eden
ton. Some were even moved
to break into verse to relieve
the pent-up emotions engendered
by Donna’s brief but havoc
wreaking passing. Here is a
'poem by Mrs. Floyd Cayton,
written at the height of the big
blow, which gives some idea
nbw a person feels and reacts
td a hurricane.
DONN-.
They called her Donna, the great,
hurricane,
So i wicked, so bad, with such a I
\ pretty name.
She, was spawned many miles!
'beyond our shore,
And, raging she came to storm
our door.
She grew very strong and ex
ceedingly bold,
And harassed and killed on her!
path we’re told;
Many natives were dead when
she violently passed by, |
For when she swept the isles
ipany were to die.

THE CHOWAN HERALD
She .rose from the sea an awe
some sight,
And in the land of flowers many
i took flight;
’Twas thought she was dying—
, need fear no more—
, But she poised like an arrow for
Carolina’s shore.
We saw on TV’s screen the
terror she had spread,
And heard the fearsome news
with ever-mounting dread:
That she would throw her might
I before her course was run
| Upon the walls and roofs of
I little Edenton!
, Our hearts began to pound in
panic and in fear
Because we hadn’t known that
Donna was so very near; j
We listened to her rage—oh, how
her winds roared—
On many a bended knee a pray- 1
er to heaven soared.
i I
With furious winds she lashed
I us—hundred miles or more—^
And no one knew the power
that Donna held in store;
i er, Kay Bunch; song leader, San
dra Baker; historian, Mary Alice
Perry; parliamentarian, Susan
Evans; pianist, Annie Ruth Nix-|
on, and reporter, Betty Jean
Smith.
During this meeting plans
were made concerning money
making projects, FHA Week, 1
community, school and national,
■projects, entertaining the FFA
And soon the darkness came,
lights and power failed,
As all around us mighty Donna
writhed and flailed.
’Twas then we knew that only
God above,
in infinite understanding, wis
dom and love,
Would help us safely see the
morning light
And pass unscathed this terrible,
storm-filled night.
