Ivan: there and back.
Before I do anything, let me first give my condolence to those that lost loved ones during that horrible storm and for my Caymanian friends to you I wish a speedy recovery to some level of normalcy (I have seen the pictures and read the horror story).

Well my life is back to normalcy (school resumes today), luckily I didn't suffer any losses during the hurricane (whether roof or otherwise). There was a time during the storm when I thought the windows were going to come in on me. I heard pounding as if someone was outside wanting to come. The water found its way through the door crevices, first it was the back door and I had to be getting up every fifteen minutes to wipe up (my nephews fell asleep eventually, I tried but it didn't work).

One things is for sure Jamaica land we love has had some advances over the past 16yrs. I remember after gilbert how long it took for us to get back light or water (I was living in harbour view at the time) and now it didn't take a week. I commend the Light and power people and the wata people dem too.

I man a keep it short today.

PS. Doc I man alright but I was calling you a few times to find out if you cool and any word from Mad Bull and the family.

Strainer, I man glad seh you you cool after the blow still.

Indeed, after Gilbert, it took one month for me to get electricity back. Took 1 week this time. Water was back in two days (even doh it did brown at first me bade inna dat rass wid pleasure!) Beats the sponge bath with a small plastic container any day.

Mad Bull not bad, chatted wid him yesterday. He was lucky, roof still on, likkle water did come inna de yard but him recovering alright. Check him site and leave him some comments nuh.
