A hard rains gonna fall
So the roads and fields are flooded, outside the hotel its about 18 inches deep and the staff are quite strongly recommending not making the journey to the beach – they may have a point.

Time to get the books out and while away an hour or two. In my case also scheduled a backup of the WordPress system this is all running on.
