Well I wound up double posting and unfortunately am having a bit of a glitch with my moderator controls, perhaps it’s the rain and the wind but in any event it is pretty nifty to watch the waves and the lightening on the water, I know that’s not what someone coming to a beach paradise wants to hear but this storm will soon pass and I’m sure by the middle of next week we will be back to sunny days, hopefully by Sunday even!

Well the storm is slowly clearing up, it came up from the south and hit me with a vengeance as we are ground zero for any storms from that direction. We lost the transformer out front it blew up at 6 a.m. and we seem to be experiencing leaking through our walls and front windows so that we are in puddles of about an inch of water in our bedroom and living room ? but still these things happen and at least the power is back up although we can’t use most of our electrical sockets as they seem to be filling with water as well ?

sigh such is life still it is paradise, now if I could just get all these soggy wet towels dry I’d be a happy little camper

Sue, I can sympathize with you and the doggy problem. Our little dog hates storms as well and the minutes he hears the faitest rummbling of thunder he starts to freak out on me. Poor babies, I am sure if we had their intuitions, we’d be more frightened than we are.

Cindy so sorry to hear about your water issue’s as well. I know you must be about to pull your hair out! That has got to be an uncomfortable and most definately frustrating time.

It looks like it’s finally clearing up. I just finished swimming 100 laps, after spending an hour cleaning all the debris out of our overflowing pool. :spin:

Cindy: I admire your attitude and ability to “roll with it”. I’m afraid I’d be freaking out if water were spouting from everywhere. ? When we were in GC, I commented to my husband that the weather guys – or whoever decides these things – did an excellent job designating June 1st as the beginning of hurricane season. I don’t believe we saw a drop of rain on our trip until June 1st! It was as if someone finally turned on the faucet! From that point on, we experienced quite a bit. However, we also enjoyed breaks in between where we could squeeze in some snorkeling and running around the island. My husband I actually enjoyed the heavy downpours when they came, along with the thunder and lightening. We just don’t see much of that in Southern California, so it was actually somewhat of a treat for us. The speed at which the weather changes is also amazing. :spin: I really do hate to see how the thunder and lightening affects the animals, though. Poor things think the world is coming to an end.

We just saw on the news a few minutes ago that GC has received 23 inches of rain between 6/6 and today!! Wow, I guess we didn’t see the half of it!!

Northside Sue: I looked for your condo complex while we were there, but could never find it. I thought you said it was called Northpointe Condos and, if I remember correctly, the picture I saw on the internet was a pinkish stucco color??? I remembered that you had mentioned that you were either remodeling or rebuilding so I thought maybe the place had been painted. Hope all is finished and just how you like it.

Joe: 100 laps! Keep up the good work. With all of your dieting and working out, you must look like Jack La Lanne by now….well, except much younger, of course! Oops, guess I shouldn’t admit to knowing who Jack La Lanne is…….. :gosh:

They mentioned Grand Cayman up here on the local news (Boston) and said you got 24 inches of rain…WOW…I thought we had it bad up here we have been breaking records up here the past month but 24 inches..Any major flooding??

Bill

We did indeed get about 2 feet of rain but you have to remember we are a bit of a porous rock around here so 2 feet of water while certainly causing some localized flooding, doesn’t hang around here for very long, it tends to drain off fairly rapidly (unless it’s pouring into your condo from leaking bits ? ) so while in other places 2 feet would be absolutely devastating around here it’s pretty easy to handle.

I ditto what Michelle said……….and I will gladly be her assistant! ?
