asterrocWe were done talking with my friend in his dorm room, so we went to find another friend in HIS dorm room. Both guys were there, one was shirtless, the first was wearing a button down shirt that was unbuttoned to show his chest. It turns out they were lovers so my friend and I left so they could have some time alone. As we left the building we walked past the first friend's room and his bed had been removed, presumably to be put in the other room so they could have a king-size bed. We decided to pull his door shut for him so no one could steal his stuff. and hope he had his key.
On our way out in the foyer I stopped and put down my laundry basket to tie my shoes. A class full of tiny children, preschool, walked by, some crying, on their way to refuge from the deluge outside. I tried to talk to them and get them to smile, but they wouldn't. My friend, I don't know who it was, was out the double doors and yelled back in that we had to go so I quickly finished with my shoes and grabbed laundry.
We waded out into the street and found that the water was higher than when we had set out. There were waterfalls and lagoons alongside the street we were on, and tripledecker houses - kinda like parts of Worcester were transplanted into Hawaii. Instead of ankle deep, the water in the streets was now waist high, and there was a current going inland. We struggled against it, and managed to get where it was more shallow, away from the street and next to the buildings. I nearly lost some of my laundry in the water, and even worse, the water bottles me and JT carried. We went around to the back of the building, her first, and tried to go up the stairs to where the other person and the child were, but the building had shifted so that the stairs were too narrow.
I yelled to JT over the roar of rain and water that we had to try the front of the building, and somewhere around then I let the water take my wash. We were trying to decide whether the four of us would be safer waiting it out upstairs in the building, or evacuating to somewhere else, but I wasn't sure if the other two could swim, which they might need already.
My alarm woke me.
