Its an El Nino year and it appears to be a real doozy! Today was crazy with the high winds, torrential rains and power outtages and its the "tame" storm. In the next few days we are gonna be slammed with high winds and rain. Being a Washingtonian I am used to and actually love a good rain storm. But this is rediculous! The property I manage is a nightmare with units flooding and debris flying all over the place. It reminded me of the summer storms in Virginia when I was a kid. We had actual tornado warnings today too. Crazazy!
Gonna batten down the hatches and be very grateful that we live at the top of a hill and not the bottom. Got firewood and candles ready just in case the power is out again. Oh ya, and about the power outtage..LAME!! It was a riot with all of us holed up together. We had to actually hang out and spend time together without tv or computer. The kids just picked on each other the whole time while I paced back and forth praying that the power would return. So sad when you think about it, to be worried about a temporary inconvenince while Haitians are permanently outside without even the most basic of needs. Gonna have to get my priorities straight.
