Gustav

Well, Gustav dubbed Tropical Storm decided that we got too much gold in the Olympic and thought he should show us a sign. It wasn't has bad as Dean or Ivan but it did do some damage. Some people lost there homes and roads were destroyed. But knowing us we will bounce back we always do cuz we are Jamaicans. At least we were prepared. When Ivan hit phone service was down for about a week and some areas did not get light for about 2-3 weeks. With Dean we lost phone service for 1 day and light was restored in about a week. Now during Gustav we had phone service throughout the whole ordeal and some areas got light the day after. After what happened to us during Gilbert 1988 we have learned a valuable lesson and we have learned from our mistakes. I watch most of Gustav through my window with my son and boy was he excited. When Dean hit us he was 7 months old so he did not see much. Now he is 1 year and 7 months old and he was like "mommy look" everytime a tree bend with the wind. We could see the sea from where we were and each time the waves rushed ashore he would jump back and scream "mommy" as if the waves were about to hit him. It was fun in it's own way.

Hey,
I'm originally from Hanover myself. Glad to find you. I haven't been out since the storm. There is a pond down the road from me that usually floods when we have so much rain. So we'll be stuck for a few days. I'm glad things aren't worse. Can you believe it, right after Gustav left us it got to category 3.
