Tropical Storm here in Tamarindo

Spent the entire night battling the elements and dealing with power outages only to have our gutters/eaves fail and leave us in about 1/2 inch of water throughout both floors of my house.  AND I live on a hill!

Tonight I am sleeping with my surfboard.  (by the way, the water is chocolate brown...no surfing until this cleans up)

Here is the NOAA forecast
