Tropical Storm Isaac

SNOW DAY! That is exactly what Isaac felt like...get the day off and can't really do much of anything! Sleeping through the night on Friday was pretty rough...loud, windy, and LOTS of rain. There was a little bit of water on my floor when I woke up, but thankfully, other than that there was no damage done to the Guest House area.

Unfortunately, this "Snow Day" for many, is not nearly as fun as you would think. I can't even begin to imagine what it must have felt like to people who live in the tents and tin shacks in Canaan. It was loud and scary here in a very strongly built wooden bunk house...what would it feel like to be in a tent? Possibly sleeping on the floor? Was it wet? Did the 'houses' move or blow over? I guess I will never know...but my heart and thoughts did go out to them all weekend.

Thankfully, when Jeff, Drew, and Ben headed to Canaan earlier in the week there seemed to be minimal damage, and to their knowledge everyone was safe!

This video was created by Jen and Ben shortly after Tropical Storm Isaac came through Port-au-Prince, Haiti. I'm just posting this now because we did not have internet access until today. Thank you for all the emails, thoughts, and prayers as I weathered my first Tropical Storm in Haiti!
