Welcome to Gaia! ::

Let me start by saying that there may not be a #2 for awhile. A strong hurricane can probably level half my island, so net and electricity are extremely iffy.

So far, this is my report on how my elementa is reacting to it.

The air pressure is devastating to my sinuses and aura. It is quite warm, yet my ice energy is whirling around me and I already feel like I am freezing. I took a scalding bath to try to absorb some heat, but without success.

I feel as if I can actually feel it out there in the ocean. Almost calling me. I know how cold it must be. The cloud temperature at the eye is one of the coldest places on earth, at what I believe is about -70 degrees C. So we're expecting it to get wickedly cold around here. If it wasn't powering me up beyond the point that my body can handle, that would be a good thing.

My brother is asleep already. The air pressure and latent cold energy have already conked him out. I pray all my friends will be safe, because flooding is a big issue in a lot of places.

As Ivan gets closer, I expect to feel better nasally and be able to breathe without feeling like I'm in water. Or maybe I'll just get used to it. Now was not the time to be sick, but I think I'll manage. Perhaps it was a way of sparing me from being pushed to my full 'power' by the hurricane. I'm freezing already and its still 24 degrees C. I don't know how to invert my aura to make myself feel better, so I will have to actually hope that the hurricane comes and goes quickly.

Hope to be back with you soon. Keep thoughts of me close. They might be the only thing keeping me warm. Reis out.

Electricity and internet connections restored. Things are looking up. There was not too much serious damage done to the island, so I can now return to normal troublemaking wink .
