Hurricane Floyd

September 1999 Floyd made his landfall right here on our tropical isle at category four strength on the Saffir - Simpson scale The winds which came out of his mouth were so strong that he had blown away the rooftops off all the houses hotels and coconut trees like lighted candles on top of a child's birthday cake His ferocious thirst of water made him perspire his sweat from among his cloudy body which created additional ocean bodies upon our land the sounds of his thunderous voice was as loud as a juke box no electricity, no showers no phone calls no viewing of new favorite cartoon episodes The saddest part about Floyd's visit which will never be forgotten where he ruined the celebration of the first half dozen years of my life but he was gifted with first piece of cake upon his departure
