Water...Everywhere!

We've been hit hard the last three days by tropical storm Otto. Torrential downpours, high winds, and flooding everywhere! I have never seen rain like this before! We are in hurricane season and this is the worst it has been since I moved to St Kitts. Luckily we have kept power but the water has been out for the last day. School has continued but was canceled early today.

The pictures here are from my back blacony. Beyond the palm trees is a little pond. At the palm trees is where the pond usually stops. As you can see it over flooded and filled the lawn behind my room. Luckily I am on the second floor because the people below me woke up with a foot of water in their rooms this morning! The ripples in the water are fish that were in the pond but now are swimming in my back yard!

The other photos are flooded areas of the yard, as well as the pool.

On the up side I survived my exams! Not only survived but did really well. I'm very proud of the hard work I put into preparing. I'm developing a routine here (study, study, study, sleep) and it really seems to be paying off.

Some more exciting news....Tom has a ticket to come see me! I have already began the countdown until he gets here (42 days). I cannot wait to show him my life here and introduce him to all the amazing people I have met.

Rereading this entry I realize how terribly written it is. I apologize! I guess I only know how to read science textbooks now....
