Hurricane Dennis

I’m waiting out Hurricane Dennis right now (I saw the name online- here they just refer to it as “the wind.”). The radar images show it passing over us (I’m near the tip of the southwestern peninsula), though the eye is passing farther to the west. There is a lot of wind and rain, but it’s not so frightening as a tornado, and we’re high enough on the hill to avoid flooding. I’m not sure what the people right on the water do. I’ll have to ask once everyone comes out again. I was stir-crazy in the apartment, and most things are closed, so I walked (that got quite a reaction) to the Haitian Health Foundation office where the other American girls work. Internet access in Haiti is satellite-dependent, so I’ll have to post this later, but the combination of generators (I assume) and solar energy stores allow us computer access (Jeremie has not had city-wide electricity for about two and a half weeks now- the problems in PaP make gas a scarce and expensive resource right now.),
