Hurricane Felix




Praise the Lord it passed us by! We had battened down the hatches, bagged up valuables, moved furniture away from windows, and were getting ready to move patients around in the hospital when we received news that Hurricane Felix had changed course and was moving through central Honduras rather than along the coast. It hit Nicaragua as a Category 5 and caused great damage, but as it turned inland, it hit the mountains of central Honduras and transitioned into a mere Tropical Storm. What a relief! Lots of rain and a few power outages is all we suffered. I consider all the scrambling about and hurricane preparation as good practice for the next one. Hurricane Season is just beginning!
