whew, i haven't been in a situation like this before.
Friday afternoon, seems like a normale day, just finished class, just waiting in the computer lab until some of my extracurricular activites to start. the sky was a bit dark, but i didn't think much of it, just thought it was normal rain. anyways, that's how it is until about 4.40pm.
at that time i'm told to go home, there's a Tropical Storm coming (which, actually formed on Friday itself, and is like a mini-huriicane). so I pack up and scram,  quite bemused, as usually i know about these things about 2-3 days beforehand. there isn't muh to do at home,except pull in a few chairs on thew verandera and bring the plants in the garage. since i was still sick, i hit the sack early, but was going to get a rude awakening.
Saturday 4:00AM - woke up, dogs barkang after something. no electricity, rain was falling horizontally. and the wind. oh where do i start.next door, trees looked like they were breakdancing. and breaking. the ravine near my house, which normally is dry, was overflowing on my neighbour's land, and we had to clear in the middle of he wind and rain. trees all around you were breakikng and falling. In all of this, i didn't have it as bad as most people, many who hadtrees fall on their houses and cars, even their roofs blown clean off and everytihng inside destroyed.
Most of the island has no power, some places, including where i am have no water, and the roads are flooded over and have trees blocking some of them. hard to think about 24 hours ago there wasn't anything like that around?
Sunday.- power's back, but still no water, big clean-up job to do. there's a state funeral for the late prime minister on Wednesday, who died last week, as well as independece day to worry about later. all with half the island wrecked by this freak hurricane out of nowhere.
 
to think that Saturday i was just gonna go in the library and study...
