Hola amigos. Wut tis up?
Nada here, just happy 2 have power back n my casa. hehe :o) Well lemme tell u bout the week/weekend b4 I 4get. heh Wed I didn't do much but watch the news all day long n see where Katrina (hurricane) was going n wut not. I wasn't 2 worried bout it til later on that nite when we got a hurricane warning. lol Um after that was thrus when we had no skool or nething. :o) Yey!! hehe I spent the day watching the news n sleeping cuz rain makes me sleep lots. Went 2 blockbuster b/c we were ganna get cabin fever during the weekend not being able 2 go out at all. :o/ It was a lil bit windy but w/e we made it thru... the line had like 20 ppl n it. Blagh! Um so yeh we got back home n it started 2 pour n yeh a lil bit later the lights went out... 4 the rest of the weekend. :o( Pooey! Well um we just hung out n wut not. It was sooo hot w/o a/c n all the windows shut. Argh. lol Well we just watched the storm outside... green lighting show. Tre kools!!! :oP After a bit we saw the tree n front of our house start 2 fall n were like uh oh. When we finally found the radio we found out it was a cat 1 hurricane almost a cat 2... coming str8 twds us. :oX lol Wut fun no?? Well um we tried 2 relax a bit but we cudn't b/c we saw our neighbors tree fall on Chris truck. He had 2 spend the nite b/c it was wayyy 2 dangerous 2 leave. It fell very gently so it didn't dent the truck or nething. :o) heh He's lucky man! Well we heard the radio some more n found out that there was a tornado like 25 blocks from my house. :oX I was like omg... I called up Miche who was helping her mom n uncle keep the water out of her house. :o/ She got flooded in. So she got ready just n case it came this way. I also got a call from Amy makin sure she's alive thru out the storm. haha She was fine but no lights. She STILL has no lights now, poor her. Um so yeh we just waited out the storm, every now n then Miche n Amy called each other 2 kno wuts up. Ceci talked 2 Emilio makin sure he was okies 2 b/c it was his shift 2 work as a cop. :o/ But he's alive n well now. haha We finally made it thru the nite... Ceci sleeping n my room while Chris took hers. At like 5:30 we noticed that it stopped raining n we went real quick 2 check out Chris truck n make sure it was okies... it didn't even have a strach. Thank the Lord man. :o) hehe Well we chilled a bit n then every1 finally got up at like 6 or 7 n we went outside 2 check the area. I swear it was like some movie man... streets were flooded, trees on the floor everywhere, n it was just chaos. :o( All my neighbors went outside 2 take pixs... a block from my house we had flooding n then every single tree fell 2 the st. meaningno way out. :oX There are pixs on mypsace n on my aol profile if u wanna see em. It was crazy... we went 2 my back yard n everything was okies xcept 4 a few plants down. We walked like 2 the canal area n from my neighbors house down they had no fence left. :oX It was crazy man. I was like this was no damn tropical storm. We still had no power so my dad fired up the bbq n made some food 4 breakfast. Then we went around helping our neighbors clean up n take the tree off Chris truck n then I went 2 see if Miche's family was ok, which they were... they just have no more yard left. :oX Both of her coconut tress are gone somewhere. heh And my other neighbors mango tree went from the backyard 2 the yard across the st from his. :oX lol It was bad!!! After a lil bit my sis ordered some Domino's n my dad n I went n Chris truck 2 go pick it up. Lemme tell u that somehow it all reminded me of hurricane Andrew. :o/ Sigh. Fences down, tress cut n half, power lines down... all so sad. We went thru Country Walk but we cudn't get thru, even n Chris truck. :oX So we went thru 152... lots of small cars got stuck but we made it very very slowly. We got 2 Publix n it was even more chaos... the parkin was flooded so every1 parked by the fire lane n no cars cud go thru. All the palm trees were in the parkin lot n it was crazy man. My dad left me 2 go buy some food while he went lookin 4 parking. I was ankle deep n muddy ass water n when I went inside Publix I froze my ass off. heh I looked icky but w/e man. So I got the stuff n met up wit my dad at the exit... my cell almost died b/c no batt but my dad let me charge it n the truck. I was saved!!! lol So um went 2 get the pizza, there was a 10 min wait n then we went back 2 the truck. The only parkin left was in knee deep disgusting water... next 2 a porter potty. Yuck! lol So we made it back home after more driving thru flooded streets n then ate some. heh I showered b/c I was like I'm not ganna get ne nasty ass crap from walkin thru knee depp water wit yucky stuff in it. We even found freakin cat fish in there. lmfao! I almost stepped on it but yeh I became brave n just rushed rite next 2 it. haha Almost dropped the pizzas but its all good. Um yeh I just chilled n walked around my blocks 2 see if the damage was bad. The other exit from my neighborhood was blocked n some ppl cudn't get out til they cut this huge ass tree from the road, its n of the pixs 2. heh So after that Chris, my gpa, Ceci, n myself went 2 look at the rest of the neighborhood... every1 was n their damn ATV's. I saw Gio playin n my old elem skool wit some guys on motorcross bikes. It looked like fun but I just stayed n the bed of Chris truck cuz yeh it was way 2 dangerous 2 walk n like muddy nasty ass water. heh Um went 2 see Tamiami Airport... 10 planes were flipped over b/c of the tornado from the nite b4. :o/ We cudn't get good pixs tho b/c they were 2 far away. Um yeh we went back home n got ready 2 go 2 my aunt's house 4 dinner b/c she had a generator 4 food n light. :o) hehe Tryin 2 get there was a bit crazy 2 b/c trees blocked some streets n there was really bad flooding which my mom's mini van cant go thru, but we made it. We had some dinner n saw the news n stuff. Katrina ended up coming n thru MIAMI not Hollywood like they said it wud, and just like Chris said... it dipped south n went all thru Key West, which NONE of the ppl said it wud. :o/ Ugh. I can't even trust the news ppl 2 tell me wuts ganna happen. It went up 2 a Cat 2 n went thru the Keys which they didn't even expect. :o/ Poor them! Well yeh um went back home n it was sooo nasty, sticky, hot, n humid that Chris, Ceci, my gma, n myself slept downstairs on the couches wit the windows blowing nice kool air. ;o) hehe I had 2 sleep n bikini both nites. lol It was quite interesting but ne who at like 3:30 am we got power back so we went 2 sleep upstairs n put the air n I checked my computer 2 see if it was all right, which it is. heh Um yeh now I'm just waiting on Amy 2 let me kno bout 2nite n her bday party thingy at Sunset. lol Were ganna go watch Red Eye... hopefully we can. haha We shall see. Well I hope every1 is doing okies, if u need something lemme kno guys. Mwa!! Bye, be safe kiddos. Chau.
good bye Katrina!,
