Hurricane Irene

I believe week five of orientation will be the most memorable.  Not only did we have the earthquake on Tuesday but we had Hurricane Irene blow through on Saturday.  It wasn't too bad for us but it did keep us inside most of the day.  Because the ILC has its own generators, we never lost power except for a few minutes.  I spent the day playing games with some of my quad mates, reading a book, and working a jigsaw puzzle.  Sunday morning we woke up to beautiful sunshine.  The only evidence of the storm were all the limbs and leaves on the ground.  God's might and power were displayed through nature this week while we felt His gentle protective hand upon us.
