Cyclone Gita

I am trying to use a Blog Spot like the rest of the world.  This is my first attempt so let me know how it went.  

We could see the clouds coming. It started raining.  It was raining so hard that early in the morning the rain woke me up.  I wondered why our friend Paul, who was staying with us, was taking a shower at 3 a.m.
Then I realized it was the rain pounding down on us. The cyclone has reached us.

I got up at 5.  We were flooded!

Our friends were leaving for the airport.  Some of them came to help. The manager came. We all set to work.  It was a MESS! Everything had to be moved and cleaned!

It was our dance day but we could not have practice so I put on the music! It was so fitting, it was humorous!

•       Rise and Shine

•       Top of the world

•       Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

Our apartment complex is getting a new fence. When the road flooded because of the rain, the water did what water does, it took the fasted way down.  It streamed off the road and through the mud.  It flowed on and on right into our apartment.  We were the only casualties in Vanuatu from Hurricane Gita.  
I guess it is a privilege!?!  What do you think?

We found this poster had fallen and gotten wet so we took a picture, “JOY!” Joy in the morning!

Thanks to everyone who helped, all is well now.
I went swimming to celebrate!

  I did some acupuncture to relax. Before coming to Vanuatu Dr. Li taught me to do simple acupuncture so I could treat myself.  

Sister Davidson made muffins
They kept starvation at bay.

I had just got two big boxes from China.  While the postmen were preparing it, I was thinking about how much tape they were wasting as they wrapped the boxes over and over.  The boxes were soaked.
Because of the tape, none of the items in the boxes got wet.  I was so glad!

I had a box of holiday items.  I was sure they were gone. Guess what? I had all of the items in plastic sacks.  We will have some holiday stuff in Vanuatu.

We had a nice color copier by the back door on the floor.  The entire room was wet and covered with silt except the corner where the copier was.  The water made a neat dry spot around the copier. It was faith building to see how our stuff was protected. 

We were the only victims of Cyclone Gita on Vanuatu.
