RE: The raptors are hungry.

Ha, I wrote the adventure part tongue in cheek, as you are correct that it was a disaster. The place where we stayed on the second floor was swamped and we had to vacate in a hurry. A first for me to see their jetty, anchored by big chains gradually rising up by the water levels, and then simply being snapped off to float away. A big, uprooted tree's branches smashed the lower floor's windows and as the water started to turn the tree the branches ripped the windows and their frames right out. A terrible occasion, but by grace we were saved.
