Redtail Rise I do what I want when I feel like it

This thread is set the evening of July 18, before the tornado hits. Anyone welcome! Saena is just doing naturalist observation for this thread. :)

Things felt weird around the Rise. Reek and Saena had only been back a couple of hours when the hawks disappeared completely and eerie silence descended over the ridge. Although she was no longer practiced, Saena was a naturalist by trade, and so her first instinct was to climb to the highest point of their quaint territory and search the sky for telltale signs.

Of course, a wolf doesn't always experience a tornado in their life and she wasn't bestowed with magical knowledge of that. The clouds overhead were very heavy and thick, mottled dark, and the sky was a strange ochre colour, like dust had been kicked up into it. From this height she could feel humidity hanging over her. But the birds in the forest made no sound and it unsettled Saena.

A huge storm was coming. That much the naturalist could tell. It was heading... well, she wasn't sure which direction. The clouds were moving unpredictably in the far distance. Not quite a swirl, and yet... not the straight line that a normal wind would suggest. Curious, thought the naturalist as she seated herself to watch the roiling sky to the south.
