Guam barely missed all the typhoon force winds from Bavi. Early Monday morning, I saw the strong rain and winds batter our village. Typhoon Bavi moved a lot faster than Typhoon Sinlaku at 10mph. So by 8am, I heard the radio DJ say that was the closest approach to Rota. Which meant for us on Guam less damaging winds would still be felt. Winds would come and go and so did the rain. At times I thought it would calm down or stop. But no here comes another bout! Lots of thunder as well was heard.
By Monday afternoon, the only thing we had left running was water. Thank goodness. No power since the night before and sadly cell service died soon after.
We did the same routine after Sinlaku hit us 2 months ago. We tried to stay cool during the days and use our generator during the night. We would go to an area close by to use cell service. By Wednesday cell service was restored but would be on and off every 24 hours. By Friday, we finally had power! Whew!! It has been trying but patience is all we had to have to make it through the wait for some kind of relief.
We kept busy with trying to be creative. Sara did her coloring book. Whilst I tried to organize things here and there. So many things still need to be done for things to feel normal again... Someday soon it will be.
Thank you so much for your prayers my friends. I appreciate you! Now prayers are needed for those in Taiwan and Mainland China where this storm is headed.
Thank you for stopping by! ~ ggsdolls
