Ok, so I know we live in a tropical climate and it is rainy season....BUT this is just ridiculous. It typically rains every day or so, but it's usually short lived. Unfortunately, that is not the case today! It has been raining for a little over 36 hours now. And I don't mean a sprinkle or a light shower, it's been more like a power-washing of our island. Last night it rained at 3-4 inches an hour for awhile. Obviously we're now dealing with flooding. Jon did make it onto base this morning, but very few others did. So we ended up with our equivalent to a Missouri snow day. Everything pretty much shut down. Unfortunately, during the hour or so Jon was at work the heavy rain continued and BOTH routes home got flooded out. So after about two hours of lighter rain, he was able to make it home...barely. (Our housing area only has one road leading in and out and of course it floods easily!) Now I am one of those who likes an occasionally rainy day, but with a two-year old begging to go outside ALL day, even I want it to stop.
(By the way, I do have a "catch-up" post or two that I'm working on since it took me so long to get this blog started once we got here. But I don't want to get any further behind so I'll just start from now--for now!!)
