Hurricane Zeta is Cray

We feel prepared to deal with Zeta because we handled Delta just fine! We’ve got our hurricane shutters, comfy bed, food, Netflix.

Turns out that Zeta is actually really intense. All of the doors and windows in our apartment are shaking and rattling. The wind is howling. Things are slamming around outside. We watched a straw roof on a building across from us wave around like a tarp until it blew off completely (it's hard to see, but you can kinda see it in the second video).

We still feel safe, however, because we’ve got our fancy hurricane shutters! A few hours into the storm (about 11 pm) our sliding glass door starts shaking and banging so loudly that we become concerned enough to setup some chairs in our hallway (away from all of the windows) and position the TV so that we can continue chilling until the hurricane is over. But the slamming from the glass door keeps getting louder and louder. We decide to *carefully* open the curtain to look out the window to see what the noise is to find that bottom of our hurricane shutter has come off and the hard plastic buckles and industrial strength tethers are being continuously blown into the glass door. At this time we also discover that water is leaking into our apartment and going under the bed. 😨

We’re afraid that the glass is going to break and the apartment will flood so we quickly grab our belongings and put them on the table in the kitchen. We then go down to reception and they move us into a room across the hallway. This room is opposite side of the ocean and is much more quiet.Baca lagi
