Hurricane Party
Aug. 15th, 2004 07:24 pmI'm trying to check up on everybody in the hurricane path. Make sure everybody is ok. And having a little storm celebration here by myself. We haven't daylight in about three days for all the rain and gloom, but nothing really impressive as storms go.
Guam spoiled me for storms. When we lived on Guam, we had 7 typhoons in 2 years and one of em was a supertyphoon (winds over 150 miles an hour) so I know all about huddling in the dark, watching the windows bow from the pressure and hearing things smack into the side of the house and watching the water pour in under the doors and around the air conditioner until the a/c itself is blown out of the wall into the room. I've been without water for four days and without power for seventeen! I loves me some storms!
But I realize a lot of people don't loves em like I do. So I hope everybody out there is ok and undamaged. ( I have also helped a friend of the family shovel a foot of sand out of their entire house from where the tide surge came in on top of it. They had a coral rock the size of an armchair that came through their wall and ended up in their den. So don't think I don't understand the fear and destruction of a storm as well...)
Again, I hope everybody's ok and has no need of shovels nor buckets.
Take care!
