Hurricane Felix Update

Apparently people are being airlifted out of Honduras...no, not us. We are sitting in the computer lab at school checking email. Outside, some of the other teachers are setting up a net to play volleyball (It is currently 7:30am). When we arrived at the school this am, we were greeted by an administrator that told us school would be cancelled today and tomorrow due to Hurricane Felix. It is supposed to hit Honduras today around 10:00am. Since we are pretty centrally located, we don´t anticipate actually getting hit by the hurricane (but who knows!) However, we are prepared for major storms and prolonged flooding, loss of power and loss of water. (By prepared I mean that we bought some candles and matches, charged our cell phones, stocked up on ice and water and purchased some canned goods). Of course, we just went to the grocery store a couple days ago and filled our fridge with lots of perishable items too! Oh well! The temperature has definitely dropped and the sky is gray and overcast. At least we have Coby to help keep us semi updated on the weather situation. (I say semi because the news is in Spanish...we can only figure out so much from the pictures!) It seems a little surreal that a Category 5 hurricane is heading straight toward us, but I know that God will protect us. Fortunately, we have a second floor apartment, but I am very worried about people that live in make shift, poorly constructed homes built with less than quality materials. Please pray for safety and protection of those that will be affected by the hurricane. We will post an update as soon as possible! Take care and may God Bless You!
