I can't believe it. It's been a year since Hurricane Maria. A year ago today, everything changed. I remember the night before vividly. My grandmother was with me on the couch. As was my cousin and my aunt as they all joked that grandma was enjoying wrestling as I watched Raw on TV. Then the … Continue reading A Year Later…
I'm a bag of emotions for June. On one hand I'm eager for it to finally get here but at the same time, I'm scared. Hurricane season starts June 1st. I hate that our governor says he's ready for the season. It's fine and dandy he is, he has priority for restoration of all services. … Continue reading Twenty Days to Go…
This is a thing and it's so underestimated. Every time we experience a power outage, or any other service goes out, people freak out and lose their minds. I'm one of them. Every time the power goes out, the anxiety just builds until the issue of why it happened is revealed. Lately, it's been over … Continue reading Day Twenty Five: Post Maria Stress Disorder
The whole WhiteFish situation is a mess. I’m glad it’s all coming to light regardless of anyone denying involvement. It’s still a corrupt piece of paper that now apparently nobody signed and nobody approved. That doesn’t change the real situation of the island. We still don’t have power in most of the island. Water is … Continue reading Day Twenty: Corruption and the Fish
It’s been 35 days since Maria. Nothing has changed in my neck of the woods. I’m back to work and it’s costing me money every day to get there. I bought clothes online. My water that I ordered ages ago still hadn’t arrived. Happy mail is stunted. I’m slowly being covered in bug bites. This … Continue reading Day Nineteen: No Changes
Tomorrow's the day and Irma is a category 5 hurricane. We're all losing our minds here because she keeps moving and shifting. Now she's 36 nautical miles from the capital. Destiny 2 comes out at midnight and I'm eager to play. My anxiety over Irma though is totally overpowering everything. Like right now, I can't … Continue reading Day Nine: Tick Tock
Irma is drawing closer and closer. People today are freaking out(like I mentioned a few posts back) and they're going crazy buying water and all the stuff. I grabbed a hold of some items yesterday and I think I'll be fine...for the most part. I'm worried about how things are gonna go. Tomorrow at midnight … Continue reading Day Eight: 48 Hrs Remain
Today I took the time to get into getting ready for Irma. I took it upon myself to actually get some supplies. These being bottled water and some Chef Boyardee because it's one of those things that doesn't require heat in the event of a power outage. My little sister joined me for the day … Continue reading Day Seven: Preparedness is…Something?
The last Hurricane I ever recall ever being affected by was in the 90's. In the 2000's I remember a bunch of storms but a serious, hardcore hurricane? Pfft, heck if I remember. Now with Irma looking like a damn monster, it puts things into a bit of a perspective but also it dawns on … Continue reading Day Six: Hurricane Woes
