Deleterious ... Howl

Today's word is "deleterious" ... del-i-TEER-ee-uh s ... harmful; injurious. (dictionary.com)

Howl
The wind is up,
The waves whisper,
   "It's coming"
Warnings flutter through
     Tvs, radios, the internet,
          gossip.
The deleterious cyclone
     spins its secret 
          ever closer.
Its eye on its targets ...
      We board and nail,
          then run away.
Leaving the earth
     to fend for itself.
