Well, the Marins were right about a lot of rain coming to Leon, but they didn't tell us it was because of a tropical storm. Alma was a tropical storm until about 1 pm when it hit land just west of Leon, at which time winds picked up enough to be the first hurricane of the year. Alma is the first hurricane in history to originate in the Pacific and move north up Central America.
The power went out around 2:30 pm while all of us were getting work done at the office, at the Gable's house. Rain let up just long enough for all of us to get home and then we sat in our rooms in the eye of the storm for the rest of the afternoon. Two trees feel onto the roof at my place, all members got some entertainment watching them machete the limbs off of it until the storm got too bad to stay outside.
Mom and I spent time reading and playing cards in her room. By 5:30 it was too dark to see anything so we decided we would just head to bed and hope things improved by morning. Power came back on at 3:30 am and we woke up and started our Thursday.
