Our B.V.I. Adventure

I'm coming up for air to write this blogpost, as once again the BVI is experiencing heavy, heavy rains. 

Just when you think you've seen the last of it, another cloud moves in.  The BVI is under a flash flood warning until noon today; schools are closed; there's talk of mudslides... 

Here's a photo Adam snapped in Road Town a few days ago.

Until the sun shines again, I've got this song stuck on my replay in my head.  Go back to 1992 with me, won't you?

Much of the BVI has been under one very large rain cloud these past few days.  According to the local forecasters, if this storm organizes any further, it could become Otto.  Currently, it's hovering at Subtropical Depression 17 status.

Well, "yet-to-be-named" Otto, you could have fooled me.  You've been lashing our little island for three days straight now.  There's flash flooding in Road Town.  The government has closed schools and offices.  We haven't seen the sun in more than 48 hours, which has caused me to - GASP - wear a sweater! 

Here are some photos of the roads...


Crazy, right?  I think it's time Subtropical Depression 17 moves on outta here!
