Fiji is Flooding…and it is still Raining

Today is our 9th day in Fiji and the 9th day of torrential rain. This is not what I expected from Fiji. I though for sure I would be drenched in sweat from the hot and humid days…not wet from unsuccessful attempts to stay dry.
Apparently there is a hurricane somewhere near the Fiji islands. That hurricane is what is causing all the rain. We have not experienced any other symptoms of a hurricane, so we are very grateful…but it sure makes getting around difficult because a lot of the roads are flooded. It’s times like this that I’m grateful we live on a hill, and remind myself of the promise of the rainbow.
The picture is taken from where we are holding the IES. To the right of the picture there is normally a garden full of taro, (kind of like potatoes) and other native Fijian food. In the picture it is sitting under about two and half feet of water. Towards the top of the photo where all you can see is a body of water….that is normally a Rugby field. Fijians love their rugby.
