| Take cover London, ON June 2023 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
Just as the frightening-looking storm moved over us, I jumped out of the car and shot a few random images from the parking lot. Soon enough, the skies opened up with thunder so loud it shook the car.
The drive home was wild, with enough water down that I half-expected Noah and his magical ark to float by. Somewhere entirely too close to our location, photos of funnel clouds were frantically being posted to social media.
As we pulled into the driveway and heaved a sigh of relief, I realized how lucky we were to have a home in the first place, and a means to get us there. I wondered about those who lacked shelter of their own, and how they were faring amid all this.
London is no different than other cities: the homeless crisis has exploded, with encampments spilling into plain view and businesses everywhere wrestling with constant street and property crime. The solution - assuming it can ever be considered solved - will be neither easy nor timely.
Indeed, I had no solutions as we headed inside and said quiet thanks for safe haven. I just wish this life thing could be a little more fair to us all.
