When it rains it pours

I am sitting in my classroom waiting for the Open House to begin, and all those excited students and parents to come and meet their teachers. However, there is a small problem with this happy picture:

They will have to come here by boat!

Ernesto has arrived and has caused major flooding. It has rained so much the main highway is flooded in sections. All the districts around us have closed, but our fearless leaders seem to think 60 mile an hour wind gusts and minor flooding is no obstacle.

Think of me as I float through the day!
