It's Raining, It's Pouring

Yes, we're still alive. But this is probably the worst storm we've seen since we've been here, and the eye is still 60 miles away. But the weather men keep changing their minds about what is really going on, so who knows. One minute it's going to be a hurricane, the next it's just a tropical storm. So we decided to act like intelligent people yesterday and went out to the beach.

As you can see, Paul was thrilled. We walked out on the sand as the red flags warned people not to swim (which of course they did anyway) and then the rain hit, so we had to hurry up and hide with all the other intelligent people under the pier. The waves weren't overly high, but the rain comes in horizontally, and the wind will pretty much rip an umbrella out of your hand. So we got soaked.

But it was pretty incredible to experience just how powerful the weather can be. I imagine a full blown hurricane would be awesome, until you got skewered by a flying palm tree. And I don't think we want that to happen, so we'll just be hiding in the bathtub from here on out.
