Last night we kinda had a "visit" from Irene, that hurricane that's been going around and stuff. My home island was under Hurricane alert/watch but I wasn't really worried until the wind picked up a bit in which case I went: "Uh oh hot dog".

Im not sure we are still on hurricane alert or anything but it seems much calmer now than last night. The worst we had was random strong winds and the power going out at around 12 midnight. I think we got lucky because in the news other places had it a little rougher. At some point, my dad assumed the eye of the hurricane was where he lives (Bayamon) because it suddenly stopped raining and not a single leaf was moving.

Anyhow that's my story for now. Im glad this didn't turned out like hurricane George or anything... that "SoB" left us with no water and electricity for 3-5 days.

EDIT - hearing the news on TV, Irene came to my home island as a storm and left as a hurricane. We really got lucky (at least everyone here did) but storm tore down some light posts, trees and flooded a few sectors and such.
