In the Dominican Republic obviously we don't have snow. We do have hurricanes! We have been watching Tomas for the last several days and it seems if we are going to get hit, today is the day. Right now it looks like our area will receive little more than rain, but just like a predicted snow in the south, a hurricane prediction here will send people to the grocery stores and then to their homes to hide out for the day!
We did not originally cancel school for the day but by 930 only Fausto, myself, my semester student Rachel, 2 teachers, and 3 students had arrived. We decided to call it a day and take the kids home!!! only 2 kids had gotten on the bus this morning and before they got to school one family had called the bus driver and asked for that student to be returned home! Today we will sit and watch the windows to see if we get to "meet" Tomas.
Please pray for those in Haiti as it seems they will bear the brunt of the storm!
