Tonight’s crew was Joel Teeple, Jake Prough, and I.

Last night was our first night in the shelter, and it was harder to fall asleep then expected. I think I got 4 hours of sleep or so.

At 9pm tonight a thunderstorm rolled through Hicksville bringing rain, wind, and a lot of lightning. Most of us weren’t in the shelter for the night yet, but I ran out to see if our newly attached roof was water tight or not. It’s not. There weren’t just a few leaks either, it seemed like quite a few. The rain is failing pretty steadily now, and I am not sure when it is supposed to stop.

I wonder what it is like to be in a tarp and 2X4 box with a tropical storm or hurricane headed your way.

I’m starting to wonder how I am going to shower while we are still in the shelter. It has been difficult to go through the day and think “oh, I have that at home” and not be able to go get it. Time will tell how difficult it will be.

Tonight I feel like I got a decent amount of sleep but still haven’t been able to figure out a shower. I may not make it too church because of it. I have a camp shower, but no where to fill it up right now. This could be harder then I thought. I am also out of clean clothes, but I don’t have any clean clothes to wear to the laundry mat and I haven’t showered yet.

We will see what today brings I guess.
