Hurricane Omar

Okay, okay! I'll finally put up some pictures and stuff! Hurricane Omar passed by us last week and it ended up being a category 3. Yes, it was fabulous. So here are some pictures of the damage: This used to be Bliss and a bunch of other restaurants.

This is right along airport beach. The waves were so strong they were ripping the little barrier thingies out of the concrete!!



This was on our street. They came and moved it pretty quickly.

This is me...wondering where everyone is?? Maho is usually pretty busy!

Sunset Beach Bar...they're still cookin' food! The whole restaurant was pretty much washed away...

No, this isn't a river...this is a road. This is the road leading to Beacon Hill. We tried to go over and see our friends, Eleanor and Kareem, if they needed rescuing...but we couldn't get through!!

Well, that's pretty much all of them. There are more pictures on the other girls blogs if you want to see them. You can go to the Reimer's Blog, Kathy and Luke's, or Hannah Oh's. They have good pictures of golf course and stuff, which was also majorly taken out! The beach is pretty much extended all the way to the road...with no sign of golf course whatsoever! It's pretty amazing.

We're all safe and sound, though. The water and power have been finicky, but other than that, we're safe. Some students, like our friends Kareem and Eleanor, lost EVERYTHING, though! Their whole place was almost swept away! :( It's super sad, so we're trying to fundraise to give them a bunch of money and stuff. So sad.

Hopefully that was our only hurricane we'll have to go through!
