Getting Ready for a Storm

It looks like this one is going to affect us somewhat. The storm is expected to pass over us on Wednesday morning. I am in San Pedro Sula which is the yellow dot just above the H in Honduras on this map. We are praying that the storm just keeps on moving and does not stop. Almost all of the damage caused by Mitch was because it stopped over the middle of the country and dumped rain for 3 days causing terrible fludding. According to this map, courtesy of Rob's boss' at NOAA, the wind should be lower by the time it gets here so the main worry is the rain and the power going out for an extended period of time. The fans are the only things that make the heat bearable during the day and night here and without power we have no fans. The kids are all happy because school was cancelled today and tomorrow. My trip to Guatemala to get my passport stamped is off for now. I will have to go there soon so I don't become an illegal alien. You are only given a visa for 90 days and must leave the country and return for a new 90 day visa. Please pray that the storm keeps on moving through without too much damage and the power stays on!
