Hey Everyone!
If you haven't been looking at the weather channel a couple days ago and today, Hurricane Omar has been on the loose and is finally moving away from where I am, which is in the caribbean.
Omar hit us quite hard in the Leeward Islands as a Cat. 3 storm, the eye was around 50 or more miles away from my island.
Here's a link from the weather channel.com site to see how close it was to me (I live in St. Martin):

It started getting intense around 1:00 am. I live in an apartment complex so water was getting into the residents downstairs. All the neighbours helped and we had to smash holes in a couple of walls to sibside the water, which was at knee-length. I wanted to take some pictures but my cell phone died.
I got back up around 7:00 am today to see the damages. It's mostly flood water and alot of debries and huge trees were uprooted. One tree almost fell into a house and another piece of the tree blocked the entire road. They were also cases of tornadoes which is rare down here.
I'm just glad to so far no one is hurt so far and I just felt like telling this so that someone can here what happend around these islands.
I just found out that I have to get back to work tomorrow. I'm a bit pissed off LOL
Anyways Mizzy Out!!

Where have you been.
I wanted to wish you a happy New Year and have checked back to see how things are going a time or two but you are never around.
I for one miss your delightful writing and have been looking forward to more of the stories you tantalized us with.
and how was Switzerland - that must have been something.

Must have been scary.
That really was close
I hate strong winds and those storms.
It is why stayed in California. I loved the Philippines and liked Iowa but both places had terrible storms.
CA is expensive but the weather is great.
