Last night there was a tremendous tropical storm - thunder, lightening, wind (my windows were rattling like crazy!), and pouring, slanting rain. It started slightly before 4 a.m., so it was too dark to take pictures. Tree branches were whipping this way and that and rain was absolutely pelting down. Once it ended, I did a quick inspection of my place…the kitchen and office had various puddles of water in them. The power was out around 2 hours as well.
At this point, I’d like to put a big thank you out there to Michelle & Jill, my friends from my previous school in Scotland. They gave me a little battery-powered lantern as a gift before I left, and I used it after the lights went out to study my French!
