Hi friends. I have a final update for you regarding Hurricane Melissa. The rain finally stopped Wednesday night and we went up to the clinic yesterday with the sun shining! The creek near the clinic overflowed its banks in several places, flattening sugar cane and other crops but, otherwise, there wasn't much damage in the area. We're getting reports of much more severe damage to houses, churches and crops up in the mountains where some of our volunteer promoters work. The wind was very strong and most people had damage to their banana trees and gardens. Our community development staff are getting in touch with all the promoters in the various communities to get an idea as to the damage done but it certainly wasn't as severe as Hurricane Matthew, for which everyone is grateful. Thank you again for your prayers and notes.

Today, Wednesday, started out with some sun and we had hopes it might be a nice day. But, by 9am rain was pouring down and it has continued all day. Below are some photos of rain coming off our roof. We can barely see the ocean in front of our house. Usually, it’s a deep blue color and now it’s an ugly gray! On both sides of the house, we have pipes coming off the roof to collect rain water in large cisterns. We pump water from the cisterns up to plastic drums on the roof where it is fed by gravity into our kitchen and bathrooms. We love rain water, just not so much of it!
If the rain stops later today, we hope to be able to get up to the clinic tomorrow. This will give us a chance to see patients and also have a look at any damage the heavy rains caused up in the mountains. It seems that the worst of the storm is past Haiti now and we’re hoping for some dry weather. Thanks again for all of your prayers.

It's Tuesday evening and our prayers are with those in Jamaica who are bearing the brunt of the hurricane right now. We know what it's like to go through a Category 5 hurricane! We didn't have much rain on Sunday night so we were able to go up to the clinic yesterday, slipping and sliding in the mud. There weren't many patients waiting for us when we got there but more came in during the day. It also started to rain more heavily during the day so we slipped even more on the road coming down the mountain! We decided yesterday not to try to go up to Gatineau today or tomorrow due to the forecasts of increased rain and winds. All the schools have been closed since yesterday and this evening we were notified that the government of Haiti has declared a holiday for tomorrow, shutting everything down. So, everyone on our staff are staying safe at home and we'll see what tomorrow brings! It's been raining all day, heavier this evening with occasional strong winds. There's been severe flooding in Les Cayes, which is 2 hours away, not so much here in Jeremie. We appreciate your prayers and will keep you posted!

It's Sunday afternoon and Hurricane Melissa is still southwest of Haiti, moving very slowly to the north. We've had a lot of wind thus far but not much rain here in Jeremie. We expect more rain and possibly some flooding in the next two days but it seems that Jamaica will bear the brunt of the storm. Our prayers are with the people there. Will update you later in the week!

We want to thank everyone for all the wonderful birthday wishes for Cherlie and me (Dr. Wolf). We appreciate your love and support very much. Please pray for us this weekend as Haiti seems to be in the path of what-is-soon-to-be-hurricane Melissa! We'll be in touch.

Happy Birthday Dr. Wolf! Wishing you a wonderful day!
