‘The roof, however, was wide open.’ – love it! Looks like you might have run into the character limit here, at first glance I thought you had written just one big paragraph. []0)

Def character limit issues. Also, I don’t think I translated the idea well. It’s inspired by the crazy storm we had the other night. Everyone woke up to watch and I slept right through it. :)

As I read it, I was wondering if this might be semi-autobiographical. The details, like the cat running into the bed and the lemon-yellow sky, work very well in this story.

hits too close to home for some of my neighbors.. this does have autobiographical feel.
