Last week saw some pretty heavy rain up around these parts. No flooding where I live on the island but some places near rivers got it bad. I found a Youtube video on the flooding so you can get an idea. So all that rain and then the wind starts this week. With the ground so wet, the wind just blows the trees down. Yesterday there was no power when I woke and so I went right into the coffee shop to get some warmth and internet. About 30 minutes after I arrived the power went there too. I chilled and watched a video on my laptop hoping the power would come back but after a while I left. I guess the entire island was without power plus many surrounding areas. I stayed up with my gramma, cooked some hot chocolate, soup, and toast over the fire. Then we found some batteries and got out some old radio shows on cassette tapes. Made for some entertainment. Filled up my hot water bottle and went to bed a bit early. Power finally came back on around 4:30am so it was gone for more than 24 hours at my house.

This morning I cleaned up some of the branches off the tennis court up near my aunt's cabin. I also got to take a warm shower and shave :). It's way too cold here. I'm looking for an apartment with a friend since I finally got a job so I should be moving away soon. Not gonna get any warmer any time soon but my new job will have travel so hopefully some warm areas sometimes. Well, until next time....
