Chapter 49.-Storm Preparations-
Lightning and Sally woke up to a very gray and drearily morning. The wind was blowing a harder than normal and the sea was rough and angry looking. Lightning got dressed and headed to the main room. Yesterday he found an English speaking news and weather channel. When he went to pick up the remote for the TV, to turn it on, he saw a piece of paper stuck under the door. He picked it up and read it. "Sally, there's a note for us saying that there is a meeting in a conference room at nine thirty for all the guests. Lightning said "I'm assuming it's about the storm." "That's only an hour from now" Sally said joining him. "Do you want breakfast now, or do you want to wait?" "Later, I'm kinda to worried to eat right now" Lightning said. "Me too" Sally said.
A little before nine thirty Lightning and Sally headed to the conference room where the estate had set up for the meeting. They handed out refreshments to all the guests as they arrived. The tension in the air was so thick you could have cut it with a knife. They mingled with the other guests until it was time for the meeting to start. At nine thirty Manuel and the estate's operation manager arrived at the conference room. "Ladies and Gentlemen please have a seat and we'll get this meeting started. As you all know tropical storm Lightning will come a shore around five this afternoon. I know some of you don't live around an ocean and I have some general information for you. A tropical storm is a storm with maximum sustained winds of at least 34 knots(63 kph). Tropical storms are given official names once they reach these wind speeds. Beyond 64 knots (119 kph) a tropical storm is called a hurricane. Both tropical storms and hurricanes have a defined rotation and severe thunderstorms around a central low-pressure zone. Here the Northern Hemisphere, tropical storms rotate counterclockwise. In the Southern Hemisphere, they rotate clockwise." Manuel said "The storm seems to be weakening as it gets closer to land and picking up speed, but we are not taking any chances. It's traveling at fifteen miles an hour but it expected to be close to twenty by the time it reaches land."
"Those guests that have one of the three ocean views suites will be moved to an interior unoccupied room during the storm, please stay after the meeting so we can assign one to you. For those guests that have an interior room, you are safe and will not be moved. We will have two of the conference rooms set up for your comfort. All guests, staff members and their families are welcome to come in during the storm. We will have refreshments, card and bord games along with movies to watch. Dinner service is being canceled for this evening, we will be serving light items for supper. If you want to go out and get something for this evening, I suggest you do it as soon as possible. We ask that all guests be back at the estate no later than three pm. The ground crews are already putting up storm shutters to all the windows. All beach front furniture, hammocks, and anything else not tied down are being taken in. All pools, saunas and jacuzzis are being shout down until after the storm. In case we loose power as we are expecting, the estate has a two genitors that will restore power in about a minute. We have enough food and water for everybody. The local authorities are shutting down the roads as soon as the storm starts to make land fall. However the airport has already been closed and there are no flights in or out of Cancun until tomorrow afternoon. Our two doctors and their medical team are standing by to help anyone that might need medical attention. Once the storm has arrived the external doors will braced and no one can get it or out. All curtains and blinds will be closed and please keep them closed. Stay put if things seem quiet, after it appears that the storm has passed, it may be only the eye of the storm, winds will pick up again. After the storm has passed, drive only on the streets, if necessary and avoid flooded roads and washed out bridges. Watch out for fallen objects, downed electrical lines and weakened walls, bridges, and roads. Security will be tight for awhile, so your safety is assured. The staff will drive carefully around the outside of your suites and check for loose power lines, gas leaks. If everything is fine, you will be allowed back into your suites. Avoid drinking or preparing food with tap water until it is confirmed that it is not contaminated with sea water. If you have nay questions or concerns please see a staff member. We'll have another meeting in a few hours."
Only two of the three ocean view suites were occupied. Manuel talked with other couple, who was on their honeymoon as well. "Mr. and Mrs. McQueen" Manuel said "I have assigned you room ten for the evening. You can leave most to your belongings in your suite. They will be safe. Do you have any questions?" "No, not right now" Sally said. "Can we call home and let them know that we're all right." " Yes, but I would do it before the storm hits." Manuel said "I don't know if you be able to get a call though after the storm. The phone towers might be damaged." "Ok" sally said. Manuel left them at this point to answer some questions from the other guests. Sally called Flo at Radiator Springs. "Flo's V8 Café" Flo said over the phone. "Flo speaking, what can I make for you?" "Flo, it's Sally" Sally said. "How are you?" "Sally, it's wonderful to hear from you." Flo said "Are you enjoying yourself and why in the world are you calling me?" "You know that there is a tropical storm heading our way." "Yes, we have been monitoring it" Flo said. "We were discussing calling you this morning, but Doc said to wait and know for sure if the storm was going to hit." "It's going to hit us around five here. I'm just letting you know that Lightning and I are fine and we're going to ride out the storm here in Cancun. My father-in-law has got a helicopter standing by if we want to leave." Sally said "But, we're not. All the locals say it won't be that bad. The estate is making preparations as we speak. I'll call after the storm is over and let you know we're ok." "Ok Sally" Flo said. "I'll let everyone know, and you and Lightning stay safe, you hear me!" "Yes, Mama Flo." Sally said "I hear you loud and clear."
Sally then called her parents. "Hello, Sweetheart" Mercedes said. "I'm glad to hear from you, but why are you calling me on your honeymoon?" Sally told her mom everything about the storm that was headed her way. "Mom, can I ask you a question?" Sally said "You always seem to know what's wrong with me, even before I do. You know that I've been feeling sick on and off for a while. I get these weird fluttering sensations in my stomach and then the next thing I know is that I've vomiting my guts out. I thought that it was just stress getting to me, but the wedding and the racing season is over. Lightning and I have done nothing stressful all week, and I'm still getting sick. I'm worried that something is really wrong with me." "You said that you have had fluttering sensations in your stomach." Mercedes asked "I'm guessing that it worse in the mornings?" "Yes, most of the time." Sally said "It happens a lot after I have eaten too. I'm seeing Doc a few days after we get back home, but I get the feeling that you know what's wrong with me." "Call it mother's intuition" Mercedes said. "But I think you might be pregnant." "Mom, I have birth control implants, there's is no way I'm pregnant." Sally said "Besides Lightning and I have only been having sex on a regular basis since we been here. There is no way that I'm pregnant already." "Well, that is what it sounds like to me." Mercedes said "You need to call your dad and let him know about the storm so he won't worry. He should be in his office this morning" "Ok Mom" Sally said "I love you." "I love you too Sally" Mercedes said "Call me when you get a chance and let me know you and Lightning are safe." "I will Mom." Sally said and then hung up.
