~Tuesday, Jan 27th, 2015-The Day Of The Storm~
4:29am: Right now it is snowing a lot, and there is a lot more snow on the ground then there was yesterday. I am currently trying to go back to sleep.
7:29am: It is morning, and currently the snow is almost making it so you can’t even see my porch! The power went out last night, and it is annoying because now I cannot send this essay today. I also cannot do anything requiring internet access or power. The wind is very strong, and there is at least 5-6 inches of snow on the ground. Hopefully, I’ll get to o outside at some point. Right now, I am trying to finds ways to get onto the internet, and finding something to do.
8:29am: It has been an hour, and the storm has only gotten worse. I’m watching the tree in my front yard out my window. It’s covered in piles and more piles of snow. Our whole front yard has turned into both my front yard, my neighbor’s front yard, and the driveway. My Mom say’s I can’t go outside yet because if I do I’ll literally blow away, because the winds are 50mph. I kinda want to see what happens if I blow away though…
Since the past hour, at least one more inch of snow has been placed on the ground. I am currently working on this essay, and listening to music while I still have battery power on my electronics.
9:29am:The storm is still going on, and as minutes and more minutes fly by, the wind only gets stronger, and more snow blows everywhere. The winds are over 50mph, and the wind seems to be coming from the North/West I just found that the whole entire Island is out of power, and apparently the power guys are working out it, and the power should be working again by 11:30am, but I highly doubt it. If anything, I feel as if the power won’t come back on until this afternoon. At the moment, I’m switching between my iPad and computer, so neither of them run out of battery. I’m also watching the storm from my window.
10:29am: The storm has been going on for approximately 14 hours (maybe more, maybe less) and it still hasn’t died down. The wind speed is above 50mph, all power everywhere is out, and most roads have been blocked, excluding the main roads. It is around 29˚ degrees, and the wind is coming from the West. At this very moment, I am reading a book.
11:29am: It’s almost 12pm, but the power is still out. Winds are at 50mph, and it is 28˚degrees. I am hoping the power will turn back on soon. Right now, I am playing on my iPad.
12:29pm: It is noon now, and the storm is still in full rage. It’s 28˚degrees, and the winds are about 49mph. It is now not snowing as bad as it was before, but the huge snowfall has been replaced with stronger winds, little bits of snow, and snow being blowed off the roofs of every house surrounding mine. As for the power, they are “working” on it, but they can’t actually fix it until the winds die down to 35mph. I am still waiting to go outside, since the winds are still too strong. Right now, I just am finishing up my small lunch, and finding something to do before I can go outside.
1:29pm: Still no power, and I’m still not able to go outside, because the winds are still at 49mph. It’s around 28˚ degrees still, and it’s still snowing. I haven’t been able to do anything outside because of it. I’m hoping I’ll be able too before it gets dark. I just finished making a Video Star video, and now I’m just hanging out in my room, waiting for two things; The power to come back on and for the opportunity to go outside.
2:29pm: I can’t believe it’s already 30 minutes to 3, and the storm is STILL going on! The wind is still at 49mph, and it’s still a freezing 28˚ degrees. I still can’t go outside, and the power is yet to come. I’m hoping that Power will come tonight, and I’ll get to go outside. I keep looking outside-I can’t even imagine how cold it must be. I just finished making a stuffed penguin out of paper and tape.
3:45pm: Right now, it’s 20˚ degrees, and the wind is 40mph. I am at my neighbors house because my house is way to cold, and here they have a fire place, and it’s much warmer in here. The police came to our house, and said the power won’t be coming back for another 6-8 hours. I’m crossing my fingers the power will be back soon. At the moment, I’m about to have some hot cocoa, and I’m petting Lesser, the neighbors dog.
4:45pm: It is currently 20˚ degrees, the winds are about 39mph, and the snow is SLOWLY starting to stop. The power is not coming back any time soon. Right now, I’m sitting down, writing my story, while petting one of my neighbors dogs.
5:45pm: Right now, it is still 20˚ degrees, and finally the winds have died done, and are at 25mph. I’m crossing my fingers the power will come back on tonight! I heard that it’s so bad, that we even made National News. It’s very creepy to think even people in Hawaii know about the storm…
I just finished dinner, and now I’m sitting near the fireplace.
6:45pm: I am petting Tucker right now, while waiting for the power to come back on. It is still 20˚ degrees, and the winds are at 24mph.
7:45pm: Finally the power has come back on! The winds are at 26mph, and it’s still 20˚ degrees. Right now, I’m playing on my laptop.

Color: Turquoise Blue
- My color would feel smooth, and soft, yet a little cold.
- My color would smell like blueberries and blue cotton candy.
- If my color had super powers, it would have ice powers, and would be able to create ice castles.
