Praying for strength and perseverance to you and your family as Maria nears Puerto Rico. Godspeed.
Thanks for your thoughts & prayers.
My dad moved to a hotel in Old San Juan at 7:30pm yesterday, which is surrounded by tall windows and his room is in the interior of the hotel with small windows. He lives on the 17th floor less than 200 feet from the Atlantic Ocean, so his building told them all to seek shelter, which he did.
Mom is at her apt., about 2 miles inland, up a hill, in Miramar near the Condado area (tourist area) in the second floor. She does not have panels on her windows and she’s facing south. She is also surrounded by buildings & concrete.
If they have phone or text service, they will contact us.
MOM - IN THE CONDADO AREA - LAST TEXT AT 7:30AM: Broken windows, brutal rain and wind; holed up in the bathroom with neighbor; water coming inside the apartment; trying to stay away from any flying debris & water coming into apartment.
DAD - IN OLD SAN JUAN - LAST TEXT AT 11:00AM: Rain and wind of Biblical proportions; I’ve never seen anything like this; your grandmother’s apartment is a total loss; we’re all holed up in a hotel and we’ll try to survey our other apartment tomorrow; not sure anything was saved - our windows only hold 120mph winds. We have our lives!
How are you doing CLL?
