Track Irene's Path.

Tweet

I have been watching the news on and off all night waiting for the high winds to start but so far nada. There have been some reports of down trees but around here it looks like any other rainy day. I checked weather.com to see what is the latest on the path and found out they have a hurricane tracker. There you can see how far is it, how high the winds are going to be when it hits your area, current alerts, etc. I know I'm keeping this page open until tomorrow morning. Crossing my fingers that the lights won't go out. If not my cell phone will have to do! And is too humid to be without a fan. Stay safe/Cuidensen, mi gente...♥♥

Are You Ready For Irene/Estás Preparado Para Irene?

Tweet

Are you ready New York? Tonight we'll know if Irene is as strong as it has been predicted. I believe its already at 85mph so I'm guessing by the time it gets to New York is not going to be as strong. If you don't know how strong 85 to 90 mph winds are, I posted some videos below. Last time I experienced a hurricane was when I was living in Puerto Rico. That was ages ago so I had to check! Irene, could cause some damage. Glad we are taking precautions, with mother nature you never know.


I went to the supermarket yesterday to get some food, batteries, candles, etc. Passed by the 99cents store, that store was full! They had no big flashlights or batteries. People were taking whatever they could. The owners were so happy with so much customers! The lines were ridiculous and it was hot as hell inside. We had to settle for candles, but is better than nothing! As long as we have food and water the rest is not as important. And of course if you need medicine for a member of your family. I made sure my daughter has enough allergy medicine. 


I tried to sleep but only slept two hours. Here I am writing this post. This reminds me of Puerto Rico, we wouldn't sleep waiting for the hurricanes. We would sit on the balcony drinking coffee with a piece of bread and butter until the rain came down really hard. Good memories, not that a hurricane is something fun but familia/people tend to get close on ocassions like these. 


Bueno, I'm going to try to take a nap. Cuidensen/Stay safe out there and although this hasn't happened in New York in a long time is something you need to take seriously. Don't go out there because you want to feel the wind. That's how accidents happen, mi gente...♥♥

Nashville Tennessee Flood.

Tweet

I saw this video that was posted by mashable.com and had to share it. It was inspired by the flooding in Nashville Tennessee. It was beautifully made by Michael Desppisch and I hope it will inspire many people to help out. I have never been in a situation like that and I thank God every time I see images like these. We often forget what it is for people who have to deal with the threat of flooding and tornadoes every year. It has to be nerve wrecking for them every time they hear is going to rain. My thoughts to all the people of Nashville Tennessee. If you would like to donate to help in their relief efforts you can do so by going to American Red Cross.♥♥
