Bermuda's Winter Weather

Thank you all for praying for us! When I posted earlier, we were eating breakfast as the lights dipped in and out. We were able to do our morning chores and some school work before we finally lost electricity around 11:45am. Out of habit, I tried to toast bread, heat up milk on our electric stove, and flip on the lights... only to remember that we were without power! I spent the afternoon, playing the piano, taking photos of the storm, and catching up on some reading. I also done a little crocheting. :-) These photos were the best we could get, while yet being safe. Storm force winds are not to played with as sudden gusts are uncommon and flying debris is dangerous too. Jude even spotted a waterspout but it disappeared before we could photograph it. The temperature dipped to a chilly 54 degrees, and the winds were clocked in excess of 70 knots, well above hurricane force. The weather was the most fierce right by the water so we tried to keep our distance. :-)

Joy Report: I'm happy we were kept safe during the wind and weather today. Praise God!
