my apartment complex is still without power (been that way since sunday morning), and except for the lack of internet, it isn't so bad. we break out the grill for supper, and the apartment stays pretty cool in the day time. only problem is the water...somehow the sewage manes and the storm drains got mixed up, so whatever gets flushed down the toilet ends up in the parking lot...luckily, my apartment is upwind from the overflowing storm drains.

i'm alive
*yay*
but the eye was quite cool (i did go outside) Since it came onshore near where I live I saw the actual eye, the spinning clouds just stop at one point. It was really freaky, but then I had to go and crowbar my screen door back in place. Been outta power till yesterday morning and just got internet back up. Tons of damage (tons of pictures) and hopefully Ivan doesn't come here, but if he does, i'll still be here (taking more pictures)
(i'll upload the pictures online later but now i need dinner)

6 days after it hits......

Yay!!! My computer is up and running!!!!! wow, that took longer than expected... anyway, all day saturday and sunday i sat against my open front door and read my english book. it was soo cool! saturday, around 11, we had the biggest tree in my backyard fall on our roof, luckily there was no damage to the house (at least we don't think so anyway, but we haven't taken it off yet, so we dont' know for sure). we lost a total of 12 trees in our yard. saturday night, 11:30 pm, we went outside with a flashlight to see the water 3/4 of the way up our yard, we were sure that we were gonna get flooded. Little did we know it was high tide, and when we went out at 2 am it was all the way back down.

My family all survived. my aunt's house has a hole in it's roof, but only a small leak in the house. my other aunt lives in the villages, and they were stupid because they left saturday in the middle of the hurricane to drive 5 hours south so they could catch a plane monday morning to Las Vegas. My sister in Gainesville was at a friends apartment, they lost power for a couple minutes in the middle of the night. My grandparents are okay, they only lost electric for half an hour. My oldest sister at Cornell was freaking out, she was soo scared for us, but we were okay.

oh yeah, my parents STILL won't let me go to the beach, :rolleyes: but I think I'll live.....
