Hmmmm.. Hurricane Dennis, eh?

So, I'm in the midst of a hurricane at the moment. And I' writing a blog entry. Isn't that wonderful? To be honest, the storm hasn't hit us nearly as badly as we had figured; the eye of the storm (the dead space in the middle that serves as the nucleus) has been pushing north of the island, so the North coast has been getting the worst of it. What that means to us, being that we live halfway up a mountain on the southern side, is that we get a LOT of rain, some amount of wind, and bucketloads of cloud. So some ppl are getting 110 mph winds, while we're getting good weather to fly a really, really big kite. What isn't so much fun, though, is the fact that our roof is leaking like a mofo...



::edit::

Okay... so, it doesn't seem so bad... that is, until you've spent a few minutes outside in it trying to fix things, namely the roof, a flooding problem, and banana trees that have committed suicide into the back yard. I've never seen this volume of rain in my life. Honestly... when I had to go fix a part of the roof, it was under a good 6 inches of water. Given that this was the roof of a 2+ car garage, you can imagine just how much water that is....
