Well, as I said yesterday, we had the day off school waiting with great anticipation fo Felix. By about 2pm the rain started - but nothing impressive. It was meant to hit us by 2am Wed morning so we went to bed with the windows all closed, torches ready etc. The whole town was on red-alert.
I woke up to...a cloudy sky. Felix was pathetic by the time he reached us. In fact he changed course and totally missed us! Obviously we had another day off school just to make sure! Ironically, yesterday as we waited for the hurricane, Sue got sunburnt doing her gardening Today we have been out killing the leaf-stripper ants in her garden! It is cloudy here due to the Tropical Depression, but it's not even raining! I have to say I was incredibly disappointed, though needless to say relieved that vast numbers of people weren't klled, but still disappointed!! Very bizarre we had today off school! But who am I to complain about that??!!
I've been up at Sue's house all day which has been great to get away from school for a day, I'll stay here tonight and return to school with them in the morning.
So..it appears I was right - it is a safe place to live! Oh one other thing...Esther here (and Richard in Worthing) searched Google for info on Siguatepeque and the red alert ofr Felix and the first website to come up quoted my blog!! SOmeone had found it and used it! Not overly impressed by that bit but it made me look like a hurricane expert, which is very funny. It said "Katharine Marrow, who lives in a safe mountain town in Central Honduras" and then it went on!!!
Fame at last!!
Hurricane Henriette isn't supposed to come near us - I can but hope for more time off school though!!
