December 18

Evan is gone.  The west coast of the island has had problems with flooding both from the rain and from storm surges.  Trees and power lines are down there.  So far, no one has died in this storm which is such a blessing.

We still do not have power.  We are eating out of the pantry so that we do not have to open the refrigerator.  No one is going in to the service center again today.  Somewhere I read that a category 3 cyclone can cause power outages that last up to three months.  Oh I hope not!  We would lose all the food in the fridge as there is no way to keep stuff cold here.  No dry ice.

We ended up going into the Service Center because they have a generator.  We found that only three employees there, but all the senior missionaries and the mission office staff were into work today.  Because most of the employees live quite a ways out of the city (cheaper housing there) there is no good way to get into the city with no power and no busses.
