I'm ready to dry out today. I can barely get the stove lit with damp matches. Any tricks for keeping matches dry? Fridge is usually a dry environment.
We have a family of 5 camped out with us. They were inundated with a meter of water yesterday. The kids had chattering teeth. Sad and cute at the same time.

Are there any meteorologists out there that can explain this unprecedented amount of rain? *Is it La nina? *What is the long range forecast? *More of the same?
Right now at 9.30 Monday morning it's chucking it down here in Cabarete, yet most of my weather websites show clear skies!

The forecast is calling for even heavier rains starting Wednesday afternoon. It is a shame to send all the children showing up for school home when there is no flooding here in Jarabacoa and only a slight drizzle. Rivers are high but not super high. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case for other areas. Time to plant lots of trees, grass, and shrubs to soak up the water and hold the soil.
the weather can change pretty rapidly, hence closing the schools altogether throughout the province, even in the areas not immediately affected. few minutes ago it was nice and sunny here, for example, now it started to rain. i'm sure it's the same in other places. so even if the kids could get to school alright there is always a chance they would not be able to reach their homes few hours later if it starts to rain heavily.
