A great onslaught of sounds echoes from somewhere far away.
The electricity already gone throughout most of the county.
"Shit, my cellphone doesn't work now!"
The frustrated woman was pacing back and forth around the living room, sweating and impatient.
She is a young mother in her mid thirties, dark messy hair raised in a bun on the back of her head.
It was a hot day, and she doesn't like feeling helpless.
She looks out through the glass windows, shutters completely open to view what is going on.
Most people have already gone away from the neighbourhood, and only a few families could be seen running towards their cars in an unnerved rush.
In a grove many miles away, a luminous passage opens with a great flash of light.
