Hi:

Thank you for calling.  My family and I are well, thanks God.  We 
really didn't suffer much except for a few days without water and 
electricity (but we were prepared for this).  Not everybody had
our luck, though.  There are still homeless people all over the
island.

It was a scary, specially for the children, since it was their
first experience.  For my husband and I,  it was the first
hurricane we experienced crossing along the center of the island. 

Its winds were furious and the whole system had a lot of energy.  
The worst thing was that it lasted too long (it lowered its
linear speed to 14 mi/hr when it entered the island) and the
worst winds (~140 mi/hr) hit us during nighttime.  The vegetation
was shredded, but it is already recuperating.

At work we got water and electricity three days after GEORGES 
left us, but it wasn't until yesterday afternoon that we got our 
connections back.
