Rain, rain, and more rain! I tried to bring sunshine from Arizona in my luggage, but TSA took it away... Yes, Jacques is sick of this rain, so is Poehere, and I am getting there too.
It's coming from the northwest with strong winds on and off, so our patio is just flooded, and we can't sit outside except for short spells in between bursts of rain. I feel sorry for the poor honeymooners who are only here for 5 full days of this!
Gary, yes it was 12 one-liter cartons! :-)

Barbi... it WAS?? You drank them all? Roflmao! Yes it is really bad, roads are closed, mud slides and rocks falling all over the place, rivers flooding. Access road to JM's office has completely disappeared... but for sure not a good day to have lunch at the look-out resto le Belvédère!
I feel awfull for Becky & Troy and all other honeymooners, what a splash, don't even think Air Tahiti is taking off.

Today from Tahiti Presse (but the weather is supposed to improve this weekend!):
.....
Events : 03/05/2010 at 6:01PM
Papeete issues alert to avoid capital after 2 days of heavy rain, flooding
(Tahitipresse) - The Papeete City Hall issued an alert shortly before noon Friday urging people not to visit French Polynesia's capital due to serious flooding caused by two days of heavy rain.
Outside access to several parts of the city were impossible due to the flooding as rivers and water drainage systems overflowed.
The French High Commission in Papeete set up an emergency committee at 1 pm Friday to keep track of the situation.
Météo France forecast more rain for Saturday with the first signs of clearing and increasingly sunny skies not occurring before Sunday. The French meteorological service issued an alert Friday for heavy rain in the Society Islands, which include the Leeward and Windward Islands.
Friday afternoon, the French High Commission issued a media communiqué announcing the Météo France alert. There were 150mm (5.9 inches) of rain measured "during the past hours" in Faa'a, the commune next to the City of Papeete.
Mudslides were reported in Tahiti's communes of Faa'a and Punaauia and on Maupiti in the Leeward Islands, according to the High Commission.
The commission advised people to stay at home except in case of an emergency.

Taha'a doesn't look too bad on the webcam at the moment, Barbi. BB a little worse, but it looks like a passing storm? Taha'a shot at 08:30, BB at 09:30.

These boots are made for walking? Wading?

Tahiti drink still pours regardless of the rain. Besides, go in the lagoon anyway. It will be a bit dark and blurry, but the fish don't care. They're already wet.
