After waking up sometime late in the morning, Alex and the girls climbed out of bed to find that the tropical storm was raging harder than ever. Any attempts at getting any work done would be pointless. Instead, they would need to spend the day indoors. After all, it's not exactly like they packed any actual weatherproof clothing.
Luckily for them, they had constructed a little fire wood stockpile just outside the dugout shelter, which had a rain resistant awning that prevented the wood from getting wet. With this, they could reasonably keep themselves warm and dry for several days without the need to go scavenge more firewood.
Dal immediately began to get up and prepare some breakfast for the day. The firewood stove had two separate stove tops. Allowing the girl to boil some coffee and make some scrambled eggs at the same time. It was not long before the group were eating their breakfast and enjoying a nice cup of joe. All while safe from the elements.
