Shea's Thoughts

What's up people? The hurricane was pretty harsh, so I've heard. I do know that my friends wrapped my other friend that lives on the end of our street's house last Saterday and the t.p. that had been stuck in their trees for 6 days had blown across the street and down to our house, 6 or 7 doors down. At least thats what my dad said, I slept trough the whole thing. The tropical storm winds were wicked hard, I felt like I might blow away, but i didn't.(That would be illogical) We lost power between 6:30 & 7:30 friday evening. The rain began pouring after I had fallen asleep. When I woke up everything was over and the neighbors were out playing football in the street and skating with a garbage bag taped to 2 poles. When I walked outside I saw that the hurricane hadn't done much damage to our street. I walked down to my friend Sarah's house (she's the one who's t.p. was in our yard) and looked at our street. It looked like the Amazon rainforest (that's a simile there was just awhole lot of tree limbs scattered across the street) sunday, Mom and I went to church in the felloship hall (it's like a cafeteria) the priest and decan and alter servers all held hankies and continuously wiped their faces. There was 1 mass. The chapel had flooded and there was no electricity, so a lot of people had on shorts and t-shirts. Yesterday, we went to get gas and had to wait in line forever and a week long but Mom said it was short. (Since when is 30 cars in line down Underwood to get gas at a Chevron short?) While we waited to get assigned to a pump we talked to officer M.S. Anderson who said that 60 % of Deer Park has electricity. We happen to live in the 40% that doesn't, so we're staying with a close family friend who does have power. Only 4 of the schools have power so we don't have school for the remainder of the week thus meaning that my I.P.C. and Algebra tests that were previously posponed until tuesday got posponed again. Other than what you have probably already heard about the damage to the house and my trampoline that is no longer jump-on-able, I have no further thoughts.
