Day Fifteen and a bit: There's a Storm a-Comin'!

Well, I guess we may have our first tropical storm experience today or tonight!

This link will take you to a satellite picture of what's going on here at the moment. Look for the rectangular shaped island, which is the main island of Puerto Rico. The small narrow one just to the right of it is Vieques, and the little one just to the north and east of that is Culebra! 


This link will show you that we're currently under a tropical storm warning (Irene). 

I just got a call from Billy wondering if we need any help getting things move in away from the storm. He said it looks as though it will hit us later today, but it's hard to say how strong it will be. We're going to move all the furniture and Nadeen's plants inside so they're not blown around, as they could do lots of damage to the house and make a mess.

Thanks for praying for us! I guess this is another challenge for us to face and conquer!


UPDATE:  We have a hurricane watch and tropical storm warning, according to Weather.com

    Hope you are all ok with the hurricane coming through. Looks like it pretty much covers the entire country. Loving your blog and the description of your adventures. Would like to donate something to the school. Any ideas for around $25 ??

    I just read your blog from day 1. I am enjoying your adventure. What a great experience you are giving Hannah. Just saw Laura, she looks cute as a button. Laura and Evan are so happy... They smile all the time. Stay safe, and keep us posted.

What a great thing you are doing with your daughter. What great memories you are making and I admire your bravery!
