Hurricane Omar

Hurricane Omar went through the caribbean this week.  It was not a threat to the United States because it was heading the opposite way than they usually go, however it managed to bring quite the storm to Dominica.  The rain and winds were incredible. Of course it turned our water to chocolate milk Mmmmmm!  School was cancelled for the day, they closed the whole campus by orders of the Prime Minister.  The ocean was going crazy, it was unreal to see the waves and the damage that water can do.  All of the fishing boats were washed up on the road, there was a huge mess to clean up after it was all over.  The dock that is right by the school was completely destroyed, and the restaurant right there had about an inch of sand and water on the floor along with tree branched and rocks and all sorts of other things that were washed up.  In portsmouth they had some bobcats scraping the parking lots and roads to get them clear for the traffic.  I guess they do that instead of pushing snow!

Here are some pictures we got.  It was still storming when we took them, so they are not the best...

This is what is left of the dock!

Clearing the parking lot.
