Flood

The way the rain was pouring yesterday, we were sure we were going to be hit with another flood. Our hotel is always hit, sometimes just 6 inches, sometimes a foot, highest ever was 5 feet 8 inches and yesterday at 5 feet.

The water yesterday however was strong and even broke the glass door leading to our cafeteria. The double door fridge also fell. We knew we had to vacate the basement real quick as the water was rising fast.

We waited more than an hour before the water resided and continued with cleaning the place up. I am grateful that the spirit of care and share were strong among our staff who all pitched in and cleaned up the hotel's basement and all affected areas.

Of course damage is done but that will not deter us and we will work harder despite these obstacles.

Like always said....life is not a bed of roses, there are bound to be thorns there...that's life
